Abstract:
The amino acid sequence of the rat 60S ribosomal subunit protein L24 was deduced from the sequence of nucleotides in a recombinant cDNA. Ribosomal protein L24 has 157 amino acids; the molecular weight is 17,767. Hybridization of the cDNA to digests of nuclear DNA suggests that there are 9 to 11 copies of the L24 gene. The mRNA for the protein is about 650 nucleotides in length. Rat L24 is related to ribosomal proteins from other eukaryotes and from archaebacteria.
