Mutational effects at the tetramerization site of nonerythroid alpha spectrin

Spectrin, a prominent cytoskeletal protein, exerts its fundamental role in cellular function by forming a sub-membrane filamentous network. An essential aspect of spectrin network formation is the tetramerization of spectrin αβ heterodimers. We used laboratory methods, the yeast two-hybrid system an...
