Abstract
Recombinant plasmids containing DNA complementary to protamine messenger RNA of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii) have been isolated and sequenced. One of the clones contained the entire coding sequence of a protamine gene together with the complete 3‘ non-coding region. Another clone had an identical nucleotide sequence in the coding region but four base substitutions in the 3’ non-coding region. On the basis of a comparison of the nucleotide sequences available at present, the structure and divergence of the protamine gene family are discussed.Keywords
