Abstract

This repeat is found in a wide variety of proteins and generally consists of the motif XYPPX where X can be any amino acid. The family includes annexin VII ANX7_DICDI, the carboxy tail of certain rhodopsins OPSD_LOLSU. This family also includes plaque matrix proteins, however this motif is embedded in a ten residue repeat in FP1_MYTED. The molecular function of this repeat is unknown. It is also not clear is all the members of this family share a common evolutionary ancestor due to its short length and biased amino acid composition.
