Axonemal protofilament ribbons, DM10 domains, and the link to juvenile myoclonic epilepsy

Abstract excerpt

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a common neurological disorder that results in short uncontrolled muscle contractions and sometimes more severe seizures. Genetic studies have suggested that JME may be caused by mutations in EFHC1. The Efhc1 protein consists of three DM10 domains and a C-terminal region containing a potential Ca2+ -binding motif. In Chlamydomonas, a protein (Rib72) of almost identical domain...
