GAIP has a cysteine string motif. The alignment
shows the cysteine string motifs in six cysteine string proteins (Csp)
from Drosophila, Torpedo, rat, and bovine origin, two human
expression sequence tags (GenBank number given) that are putative
cysteine string proteins, human GAIP, and two yeast proteins of unknown
function. Alignment of cysteine string motifs was based on
blastp and blastn searches in
GenBank/SwissProt with GAIP’s cysteine-rich domain (amino acids
39–49) as query. The number of cysteines in the motif varies from 8 in
GAIP and yeast YBW3 to 16 in human T60736.
