"CASP and GRASP are small cytoplasmic adaptor proteins that share highly similar protein structures as well as an association with the cytohesin/ARNO family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors within the immune and nervous systems respectively. Each contains an N-terminal PDZ domain, a central coiled-coil motif, and a carboxy-terminal PDZ-binding motif (PDZbm)," scientists in Halifax, Canada report (see also Molecular Evolution).
"We set out to further characterize the relationship between CASP and GRASP by comparing both their gene structures and their functional motifs across several vertebrate organisms. CASP and GRASP not only share significant protein ...
