1NTV, 1NU2 - PubMed Abstract: 
Formation of the mammalian six-layered neocortex depends on a signaling pathway that involves Reelin, the very low-density lipoprotein receptor, the apolipoprotein E receptor-2 (ApoER2), and the adaptor protein Disabled-1 (Dab1). The 1.5 A crystal structure of a complex between the Dab1 phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain and a 14-residue peptide from the ApoER2 tail explains the unusual preference of Dab1 for unphosphorylated tyrosine within the NPxY motif of the peptide ...
