Abstract excerpt
Epilepsy is a common brain disorder throughout history. Epilepsy-related ligand-receptor complex, LGI1-ADAM22, regulates synaptic transmission and has emerged as a determinant of brain excitability, as their mutations and acquired LGI1 autoantibodies cause epileptic disorders in human. Here, we report the crystal structure of human LGI1-ADAM22 complex, revealing a 2:2 heterotetrameric assembly. The hydrophobic...
