Cellular and structural dynamics of the intracellular trafficking receptor KDELR by Frey, DM

“…Moreover, while the structural determination of KDELR-cargo complexes proved difficult, presumably due to intrinsic flexibility between cargo and KDELR, three crystal structures inform on the importance of the ERS’-4 position’s chemical nature and a non-canonical ERS’ binding mode. Lastly, NMR-spectroscopically analysing a validated, 13C-labelled KDELR2 model revealed ERS-binding-induced changes in KDELR’s C-terminal dynamics. …”
