Abstract excerpt
The extracellular domain of the subgroup A avian sarcoma and leukemia virus (ALSV-A) receptor contains a region that is related in sequence to the ligand-binding motifs of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). This domain contains six cysteines that are highly conserved between different members of the LDLR protein superfamily, and these residues are presumed to participate in intrachain disulfide bonds....
