We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

2msp is a 8 chain structure with sequence from Ascaris suum. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Cell locomotion in amoeboid nematode sperm is generated by the vectorial assembly and bundling of filaments of the major sperm protein (MSP). MSP filaments are constructed from two helical subfilaments and here we describe the structure of putative MSP subfilament helices determined by X-ray crystallography at 3.3 A resolution. In addition to establishing the interfaces involved in polymerization, this structural model shows that the MSP helices are constructed from dimers and have no overall polarity, suggesting that it is unlikely that molecular motors play a direct role in the generation of protrusive force in these amoeboid cells.
