Abstract excerpt
RFXAP is required for the transcriptional regulation of MHC-II genes. Mutations in RFXAP are the genetic basis for complementation group D cases of the bare lymphocyte syndrome (BLS) immunodeficiency. Comparative genomic sequence analysis was conducted and found that only the C-terminal half of the protein is conserved among vertebrates. The C-terminal third of RFXAP, which contained an extensive glutamine-rich...
