Disease relevance of LOC397922

The amino-terminal part of ActA is critical for the actin-based motility of Listeria monocytogenes; the central proline-rich region acts as a stimulator [1].

High impact information on LOC397922

Five independent isolates encoded a protein (designated Prrp for proline-rich RNA binding protein) having two RNP domains followed by multiple polyproline segments [2].
The separating spacer consists of very unusual, precise, threonine and proline-rich repeats containing 9 residues which could be targets for extensive O-glycosylation [3].
