Abstract excerpt
Gel-forming mucins MUC5AC and MUC5B constitute the main structural component of the mucus in the respiratory system. Secreted mucins interact specifically with each other and other molecules giving mucus specific properties. We determined the cryoEM structures of the wild type D3 assembly of the human MUC5AC mucin and the structural single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) variants Arg996Gln and Arg1201Trp that...
