... investigated dimerization and the role of oxidation in dimerization of a panel of four different RPTPs We compared four RPTPs from different subtypes, i.e RPTPa, RPTPl, CD45 and LAR We found that the ... native RPTPa, or to the presence of low amounts of monomers Nevertheless, there was a clear difference in accessibility between oxidized and reduced LAR, RPTPl and CD45 chimeras, as was the case ... conditions The ectodomains of both monomers in the dimer are required for this effect, suggesting that the epitope tag of one monomer is masked by the ectodomain of the other monomer in the dimer, and...
