Structural studies of the C-terminal cysteine-rich domain of Aedes albopictus vitellogenin reveal an evolutionarily divergent, monomeric C-terminal cysteine knot (CTCK) architecture

M Berlinguer, Mahdieh Sadeghichehelgaz, Alice Vetrano, Alessandro D'Aquilio, Ferdinando Mercuri, Marta Villa, Paolo Gabrieli, Claudio Iacobucci, Federico Forneris

This study determines the crystal structure of the C-terminal cysteine knot domain of Aedes albopictus vitellogenin, revealing a monomeric, evolutionarily divergent architecture that challenges prior assumptions about its oligomerization role.
