Abstract excerpt
The ANK repeat is a ubiquitous 33-residue motif that adopts a beta hairpin helix-loop-helix fold. Multiple tandem repeats stack in a linear manner to produce an elongated structure that is stabilized predominantly by short-range interactions between residues close in sequence. The tumor suppressor p16(INK4) consists of four repeats and represents the minimal ANK folding unit. We found from Phi value analysis that...
