Here, we determined the structures of the full-length SORLA and identified two distinct conformations of apo-SORLA using single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy. In contrast to homologous proteins, both monomer and dimer forms of SORLA existed in a neutral solution. Only three hydrogen bonds in the vicinity of the dimer interface implied the involvement in dimerization. The orientation of residue R490 was a key point for ligand binding. These results suggest a unique mechanism of SORLA dimerization for protein trafficking. |
