ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to amino acid sequences of the encoded deltex protein. The invention further relates to fragments and other derivatives, and analogs, of deltex proteins. In specific embodiments, the invention relates to deltex protein derivatives and analogs of the invention which are functionally active, or which comprise one or more domains of a deltex protein, including but not limited to the Gln-rich clusters, SH3 binding domains, domains which mediate binding to Notch or to a Notch derivative containing Notch cdc10/SW16/ankyrin ("ANK") repeats, domains which mediate binding to a second deltex protein, or any combination of the foregoing. The present invention also relates to compositions based on deltex proteins.
