Structural insights into tetraspanin CD9 function

Tetraspanins play critical roles in various physiological processes, ranging from cell adhesion to virus infection. Here authors report the crystal structure of CD9 and the cryo-electron microscopic structure of CD9 in complex with its single membrane-spanning partner protein, EWI-2.
