A. Lohia et J. Samuelson, MOLECULAR-CLONING OF AN ENTAMOEBA-HISTOLYTICA GENE ENCODING A PUTATIVE MOS FAMILY SERINE THREONINE-KINASE/, Biochimica et biophysica acta. Molecular cell research, 1222(1), 1994, pp. 122-124
Molecular cloning techniques were used to isolate an ameba gene encodi
ng a putative 33-kDa serine/threonine-kinase. The open reading frame o
f this gene, called Ehmfk1 for E. histolytica mos family kinase, shows
a 24% positional identity with the human proto-oncogene mos, includin
g 32 of 33 amino acids conserved in other serine/threonine-kinases.
