Abstract excerpt
The N-terminal domain (NTD) of the heme-regulated eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF)2alpha kinase (HRI) was aligned to sequences in the NCBI data base using ENTREZ and a PAM250 matrix. Significant similarity was found between amino acids 11-118 in the NTD of rabbit HRI and amino acids 16-120 in mammalian alpha-globins. Several conserved amino acid residues present in globins are conserved in the NTD of HRI. His83...
