Structural evidence for consecutive Hel308-like modules in the spliceosomal ATPase Brr2.

abstract：:To our knowledge, no structural study to date has characterized, in an intact receptor, the coupling of conformational change in extracellular domains through a single-pass transmembrane domain to conformational change in cytoplasmic domains. Here we examine such coupling, and its unexpected complexity, using nearly f...
