A leucine-rich repeat variant with a novel repetitive protein structural motif

Nature Structural Biology volume 3, pages 991–994 (1996)Cite this article

The structure of the leucine-rich repeat variant protein reveals a novel fold consisting of alternating α- and 310-helices arranged in a right-handed superhelix that follows an N-terminal 4Fe:4S cluster-containing domain.
