| - | <scene name='78/786627/5fgo_repeatiii/2'>PUR repeat III</scene> facilitates dimerization | + | Purα functions as a dimer composed of two intramolecular domains and one intermolecular domain. The Purα monomer contains three semi-conserved repeated amino acid sequences, named in order from N->C: PUR repeats I, II, and III. These repeats fold to form two domains: <scene name='78/786627/5fgp_intro/8'>PUR repeats I and II</scene> associating to form the I-II domain or “intramolecular domain”, while <scene name='78/786627/5fgo_repeatiii/2'>PUR repeat III</scene> facilitates dimerization through association with a repeat III from a second Purα monomer or repeat III of Purβ. Each PUR repeat is connected by flexible linker regions. |
