The primary structure of rat ribosomal protein L10a
1Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The University of Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA.
Abstract:
The amino acid sequence of the rat 60S ribosomal subunit protein L1Oa was deduced from the sequence of nucleotides in a recombinant cDNA. Ribosomal protein L10a has 217 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 24,815. Hybridization of the cDNA to digests of nuclear DNA suggests that there are 7 to 1O copies of the L10a gene. The mRNA for the protein is about 760 nucleotides in length. Rat L1Oa is related to ribosomal proteins from other eukaryotes and from archaebacteria.
