Abstract excerpt
Dimerization of the transmembrane (TM) adaptor protein DAP12 plays a key role in mediating activation signals through TM-TM association with cell-surface receptors. Herein, we apply the TOXCAT assay and molecular dynamics simulation to analyze dynamics and dimerization of the TM helix of DAP12 in the membrane bilayer. In the TOXCAT assay, we performed site-specific mutagenesis of potential dimerization motifs in...
