    The cryo-EM structure of ASK1 reveals an asymmetric architecture allosterically modulated by TRX1

    Karolina Honzejkova, Dalibor Kosek ... Tomas Obsil
    Thioredoxin functions as a negative allosteric effector of ASK1 by altering the interaction between the thioredoxin-binding and tetratricopeptide repeats domains, thereby reducing access to the kinase domain's activation segment.
