X-ray structure of the human calreticulin globular domain reveals a peptide-binding area and suggests a multi-molecular mechanism.

In the endoplasmic reticulum, calreticulin acts as a chaperone and a Ca(2+)-signalling protein. At the cell surface, it mediates numerous important biological effects. The crystal structure of the human calreticulin globular domain was solved at 1.55 Å resolution. Interactions of the flexible N-term...
