A PDZ-kinase allosteric relay mediates Par complex regulator exchange
Elizabeth Vargas, Rhiannon R. Penkert, Kenneth E. Prehoda
The paper identifies an allosteric relay mechanism involving Par-6 PDZ domain and aPKC kinase domain interaction that regulates Par-3 and Cdc42 binding to the Par complex, explaining negative cooperativity in polarization.
