CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TWO N-TERMINAL IMMUNOGLOBULIN DOMAINS OF THE NEURAL CELL ADHESION MOLECULE (NCAM)

Overview

The neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM, a member of the immunoglobulin, superfamily, mediates cell-cell recognition and adhesion via a homophilic, interaction. NCAM plays a key role during development and regeneration of, the nervous system and is involved in synaptic plasticity associated with, memory and learning. The 1.85 A crystal structure of the two N-terminal, extracellular domains of NCAM reported here provides a structural basis, for the homophilic interaction. The molecular packing of the two-domain, structure reveals a cross shaped antiparallel dimer, and provides, fundamental insight into trans-cellular recognition mediated by NCAM.
