[Cloning of the gene for ribosomal protein HS4 in the archaebacterium Halobacterium halobium]

Using a synthetic oligonucleotide probe, a gene of the ribosomal protein HS4 from an archaebacterium Halobacterium halobium has been cloned and partly sequenced. The translation initiation region contains a sequence complementary to the 3' end of the 16S rRNA.
