Trio is a multidomain signaling protein that plays an important role in neurite outgrowth, axon guidance and skeletal muscle development. Trio contains two DH/PH tandem domains that respectively activate the small GTPases RhoG/Rac and RhoA. The N-terminal DH/PH domain, TrioN, crystallizes in space group P3(1)21, with one TrioN molecule in the asymmetric unit and diffracts to 1.7 A resolution. The unit-cell parameters are a = b = 99.5, c = 98.3 A, alpha = beta = 90, gamma = 120 degrees. A greater than 90% complete native data set has been collected and structure determination using the multiple isomorphous replacement (MIR) method is ongoing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
