Abstract excerpt
Opitz syndrome (OS) is a multiple congenital anomaly manifested by abnormal closure of midline structures. The gene responsible for the X-linked form of this disease, MID1, encodes a protein (midin) that contains a RING, two B-boxes, a coiled-coil (the so-called tripartite motif) and an RFP-like domain. The tripartite motif is characteristic of a family of proteins, named the B-box family, involved in cell...
