Hi Shane, another curious case is the crystal structure of a signal receiver domain of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (PDB code: 3cg0, Patskovsky et al., to be published), as discussed in Sippl (2009) Curr. Opin. Struct. Biol. Best, -Markus Hi ccp4bb, I'm putting together a talk for some

There is one additional point perhaps worth making: As already noted in the thread, if you have a NCS homo-oligomer, the different copies in general have different environment, and proper inspection of the contacts reveals the details. On multiple occasions during inspections and review I have

Insulin can take very different structures for 20% of the residues in different conditions, and there are several examples of T3R3 hexamers, with one T and one R in the asymmetric unit. There are even observations of the transformation occurring within the crystal, which looked battered but still

Hi Shane, some crystal forms of trimeric AcrB (a multi-drug resistance secondary transporter) have 3 (or 6) monomers in the ASU and these are substantially different, which suggests how the protein functions. One reference is e.g. Seeger et al. (2006) Structural Asymmetry of AcrB Trimer

Dear Shane, To add a bit of detail to Frank von Delft's suggestion, perhaps the best example is the structure of the yeast F1-ATPase that has 3 copies in the asu, from David Mueller's lab in Chicago. Two of these are very similar, but the third is rather different and

Hi there, another nice kinase example might be IRAK-4. there are several pdbs, the one I have in mind is 2OIB. The alphaC helix that takes on different conformations in active and inactive conformations in kinases ('in' and 'out') is in four different positions in the four different

If you are including two copies in a single biological complex, then the two halves of the reverse transcriptase heterodimer have dramatically different domain organizations (OK, one copy is truncated - losing one whole domain out of five; PDB codes ad nauseam). Indeed one stretch of sequence
