The NHL repeat, named after ncl-1, HT2A and lin-41, is an amino acid sequence found largely in a large number of eukaryotic and prokaryotic proteins. For example, the repeat is found in a variety of enzymes of the copper type II, ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase family which catalyse the C-terminus alpha-amidation of biological peptides. In many it occurs in tandem arrays, for example in the RING finger beta-box, coiled-coil (RBCC) eukaryotic growth regulators. The arthropod 'Brain Tumor' protein (Brat; Q8MQJ9) is one such growth regulator that contains a 6-bladed NHL-repeat beta-propeller.
