Abstract excerpt
Members of the KCTD protein family play key roles in fundamental physio-pathological processes including cancer, neurodevelopmental/neuropsychiatric, and genetic diseases. Here, we report the crystal structure of the KCTD1 P20S mutant, which causes the scalp-ear-nipple syndrome, and molecular dynamics (MD) data on the wild-type protein. Surprisingly, the structure unravels that the N-terminal region, which...
