The 34-amino acid
tetratricopeptide repeat
The tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) is a structural motif. It consists of a degenerate 34 amino acid tandem repeat identified in a wide variety of proteins. It is found in tandem arrays of 3–16 motifs, which form scaffolds to mediate protein– ...
(TPR) motif is found in a variety of proteins and may mediate protein-protein or protein-membrane interactions.
