Cystine knots.

N W Isaacs1.   

Abstract

Recent reports of the crystal structure of the glycoprotein hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin show that cystine knots are proving to be versatile structural motifs that enable the construction of a variety of proteins with different functional properties. Because of their shape, there appears to be an intrinsic requirement for the cystine-knot growth factors to form dimers. This extra level of organization increases the variety of structures built around this simple structural motif.
