Abstract
The amino acid sequence of rat ribosomal protein L18a was deduced from the sequence of nucleotides in a recombinant cDNA. Ribosomal protein L18a contains 175 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 20 047 Da. Hybridization of the cDNA to digests of rat nuclear DNA and to a preparation of poly (A)+ mRNA suggests that there are 8–11 copies of the L18a gene and that the mRNA for the protein is about 700 nucleotides in length. Rat L18a is related to Schizosaccharomyces pombe L17 and perhaps to Halobacterium marismortui L19.Keywords
