Systematic mutagenesis of the functional domains of AIRE reveals their role in intracellular targeting
6 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human autoimmune regulator (AIRE ) gene cause a multi-systemic autoimmune syndrome that is known as autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED). To date more than 39 different disease mutations have been identified. They span the entire region of the AIRE gene that encodes a polypeptide with multiple functional domains: an N-terminal homogeneously staining region...
