A gene pair from the human major histocompatibility complex encodes large proline-rich proteins with multiple repeated motifs and a single ubiquitin-like domain.

Abstract excerpt

A large number of genes has been identified previously between the class I and class II gene families within the class III region of the human major histocompatibility complex. The complete sequences of two of these genes, BAT2 and BAT3 (where BAT is HLA-B-associated transcript), which are closely linked, were determined from cDNA clones. The putative BAT2 and BAT3 proteins are 228 and 110 kDa, respectively, and...
