Abstract:
The primary structure of the sexual inducer of Volvox carteri f. nagariensis has been deduced by cloning and sequence analysis of cDNA. The sexual inducer contains 208 amino acids including a signal sequence. A total of six potential N-glycosylation sites are found within the polypeptide chain. At the genomic level, the sexual inducer protein is encoded in five exons.
