Truncated proteins may form oligomers that are impossible in the native protein. For example, [[1bk5]] (karyopherin alpha) is a truncated part of the natural chain, and forms a dimer that would be prevented by the full-length chain. Dimerization is dependent upon Y397. Mutation Y397D prevents this artifactual dimerization, leading to the monomer [[1ee5]]. | |||
