Two-step adhesive binding by classical cadherins.
2010
Classical cadherins form two types of dimers: a strand swap version and an “X dimer” that lacks strand exchange between monomers. Strand swapping mutants are now found to form the X-dimer structure. Together with further experiments, this supports the idea that the X-dimer is an intermediate configuration that promotes strand swapped dimer formation.
