Abstract:
A cDNA isolated from the marine invertebrate Aplysia californica encodes a protein containing a domain with a high degree of homology to the Y-Box-binding factors. The expression of this gene is unaffected by the facilitatory neurotransmitter, 5-hydroxytryptamine. When expressed in Escherichia coli, the encoded protein is shown to bind RNA in vitro.
