H. Shirasawa et al., CLONING AND SEQUENCING OF THE MURINE FARNESYLTRANSFERASE ALPHA-ENCODING CDNA FROM A CELL-LINE WHICH EXPRESSES THE HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS TYPE-16 E6 GENE, Gene, 164(2), 1995, pp. 373-374
Using a differential hybridization technique, the murine farnesyltrans
ferase alpha (FTA)-encoding cDNA was cloned from a mouse 10T1/2 cell l
ine which expresses the human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E6 gene.
Sequence analysis revealed that the murine 1647-bp FTA cDNA encoded 37
7 amino acids (aa). The murine and human sequences showed 83.2% nucleo
tide and 92.6% aa sequence identity.
