Abstract excerpt
Members of the 14-3-3 eukaryotic protein family predominantly function as dimers. The dimeric form can be converted into monomers upon phosphorylation of Ser(58) located at the subunit interface. Monomers are less stable than dimers and have been considered to be either less active or even inactive during binding and regulation of phosphorylated client proteins. However, like dimers, monomers contain the...
