In this study, we describe the isolation and characterization of a cDNA clone C12 that
encodes a new member of the cornifin/small proline-rich protein (spr) family, which we have
named cornifin β. C12 encodes a 1.1-kilobase pair mRNA and a 24.3-kDa cytosolic protein
with a high proline content (19%). Its total amino acid sequence exhibits a 37-66% identity
while the first 30 amino acids at the amino terminus are 87% identical to that of members of
the cornifin family. At its carboxyl terminus, cornifin β contains 21 tandem repeats of an …
