Deskripsi

The molecular basis of activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1)-mediated endothelial bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling is not fully understood. Here, the authors present crystal structures of the BMP10:ALK1 and prodomain-bound BMP9:ALK1 complexes, providing mechanistic insights into ALK1 signalling specificity.
