Abstract excerpt
The crooked neck (crn) gene of Drosophila encodes a protein of 702 amino acids and contains 16 tandemly arranged copies of a 34-amino-acid repeat that is similar to the tetratrico peptide repeat (TPR). Multiple copies of the TPR motif have also been found in a family of yeast genes, including sev...
