Structural rearrangements in the C-terminal domain homolog of Orange Carotenoid Protein are crucial for carotenoid transfer
Résumé
Dvir Harris et al. present the structure of a homolog of the orange carotenoid protein (OCP) C-terminal domain, elaborating on this protein family’s carotenoid transfer mechanism. They observed major structural shifts in the homolog compared to that of the OCP C-terminal domain, with a strong positive impact on carotenoid uptake and delivery.
