RED-like protein N-terminal region This family contains sequences that are similar to the N-terminal region of Red protein. This and related proteins contain a RED repeat which consists of a number of RE and RD sequence elements. The region in question has several conserved NLS sequences and a putative trimeric coiled-coil region, suggesting that these proteins are expressed in the nucleus. The function of Red protein is unknown, but efficient sequestration to nuclear bodies suggests that its expression may be tightly regulated of that the protein self-aggregates extremely efficiently.
