Abstract excerpt
Cyclophilins, the intracellular receptors for the widely used immunosuppressant cyclosporin A have been found to be peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases and have been implicated in intracellular protein folding and trafficking. The Drosophila ninaA gene encodes a photoreceptor-specific cyclophilin homolog involved in rhodopsin biogenesis. ninaA mutants have a 90% reduction in the levels of Rh1 rhodopsin. To gain...
