Abstract excerpt
Mutations in AIPL1 cause Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA), the most severe form of inherited blindness in children; however, the function of this protein in normal vision remains unknown. To determine amino acid subsequences likely to be important for function, we have compared the protein sequence of several species. Sequence conservation is highest across the three Aipl1 tetratricopeptide (TPR) motifs and...
