I-309 (CCL1) remains a strict monomer at all concentrations tested, unlike other chemokines (IL-8, MCP-1) that dimerize at high concentrations; this is due to a unique intramolecular disulfide bond between C26 and C68, whose integrity is required for protein secretion as shown by site-directed mutagenesis. |
