Abstract excerpt
C-terminal domains (CTDs) of various spidroins are relatively conserved in the amino acid sequence and have been suggested to perform similar functions. Here, we solved the structure of the CTD of an aciniform spidroin using NMR spectroscopy with a two-point mutant and studied its functional role with several constructs. The CTDs of aciniform, major, and minor ampullate spidroins adopt the same domain-swapping...
