The primary structure of two proteins from the large ribosomal subunit of rice

We isolated two rice cDNAs which encode an open reading frame of 389 amino acids. Their deduced amino acid sequence corresponded to the ribosomal protein (r-protein). A comparison of amino acid sequence shows that the deduced amino acid sequence of one cDNA is homologous to Arabidopsis, yeast and the rat r-protein L3. Another encoded products with a high degree of homology to the rat r-protein L7A and yeast r-protein L4.
