The CAGE complex: a hollow, megadalton, protein assembly in prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes

The identification and three-dimensional (3D) structure determination of an approx. 1 MDa, hollow, elliptical protein cage. Discovered while surveying proteins isolated from the ciliary matrix of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, isolated, and the structure solved to high resolution from the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum.

Abstract

The identification and three-dimensional (3D) structure determination of an approx. 1 MDa, hollow, elliptical protein cage. Discovered while surveying proteins isolated from the ciliary matrix of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, isolated, and the structure solved to high resolution from the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum.
