Cryo-EM structure of the PlexinC1/A39R complex reveals inter-domain interactions critical for ligand-induced activation

Plexins are the receptors for the guidance molecules semaphorins and regulate immunity and the development of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Here authors present a structure of full-length human PlexinC1 in complex with its ligand A39R, which reveals how inter-domain interactions couple ext...

description Plexins are the receptors for the guidance molecules semaphorins and regulate immunity and the development of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Here authors present a structure of full-length human PlexinC1 in complex with its ligand A39R, which reveals how inter-domain interactions couple extracellular ligand binding to receptor activation and signaling.
