Abstract

This HEAT repeat is found most frequently in sister chromatid cohesion proteins such as Nipped-B [ 1 ]. HEAT repeats are found tandemly repeated in many proteins, and they appear to serve as flexible scaffolding on which other components can assemble.


1. Drosophila nipped-B protein supports sister chromatid cohesion and opposes the stromalin/Scc3 cohesion factor to facilitate long-range activation of the cut gene. Mol. Cell. Biol. 24, 3100-11
