... with other macromolecules as part of the PCSK9-mediated degradation of the LDLR. A cluster of residues on the conserved protrusion is involved in the binding of PCSK9 to the EGF-A domain of the LDLR, ... detected in any urochordate, e.g. in the fairly well-studied Ciona intestinalis, or in any otherinvertebrates. The C-terminal domain of PCSK9, the CRD, was not found in any vertebrate protein apartfrom ... showing the signal sequence and N-terminus of the prodomain (A), two segments of the catalytic domain (B), and the fullCRD, the C-terminal domain (C). Conserved residues are indicated by numbering...
