Abstract excerpt
Tetraspanins, including CD53 and CD81, are four-transmembrane proteins that affect the membrane organization to regulate cellular processes including migration, proliferation, and signaling. However, it is unclear how the organizing function of tetraspanins is regulated at the molecular level. Here, we investigated whether recently proposed "open" and "closed" conformations of tetraspanins regulate the nanoscale...
