Abstract excerpt
Immuonosuppressive drugs FK506 and rapamycin block a number of signal transduction pathways in eukaryotic systems. The 12 kDa FK506 binding protein (FKBP12) mediates the action of both FK506 and rapamycin against their functional targets. In this report, we cloned, sequenced and characterized a gene encoding FKBP12 in Vicia faba (VfFKBP12). While VfFKBP12 is highly homologous to animal and yeast FKBP12, it does...
