Membrane interaction of TNF is not sufficient to trigger increase in membrane conductance in mammalian cells.

abstract：:The DNA mismatch repair endonuclease MutL consists of N-terminal ATPase and C-terminal endonuclease domains. The endonuclease domain binds zinc ion, although the ion seems not to function as a catalytic metal ion. Here, we solved the crystal structures of the Aquifex aeolicus MutL (aqMutL) endonuclease domain complexe...
