Split-Doa10: a naturally split polytopic eukaryotic membrane protein generated by fission of a nuclear gene.
Large polytopic membrane proteins often derive from duplication and fusion of genes for smaller proteins. The reverse process, splitting of a membrane protein by gene fission, is rare and has been studied mainly with artificially split proteins. Fragments of a split membrane protein may associate an...
