Abstract excerpt
The C-terminal region of peripherin/rds contains three predicted alpha-helical domains. One of these domains, corresponding to amino acids 311-322, form an amphiphilic alpha-helix previously shown to promote membrane fusion. The present studies were conducted to determine how the additional alpha-helical regions of the peripherin/rds C-terminus affect complex formation with rom-1, glycosylation, intracellular...
