Abstract
A gene for the Paracentrotus lividus ribosomal protein S24, called Pl- S24, has been isolated and sequenced. Ribosomal protein Pl-S24 consist s 130 aminoacids and has a molecular weight of 14869 Da. Sequence anal ysis shows a high percentage (90%) identity with the corresponding gen e of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. Hybridization of the cDNA to diges ted sperm DNA suggests that Pl-S24 is represented in no more than two copies. Studies of the temporal expression of Pl-S24 gene indicate a g ood correlation between this and the expression of the rRNA genes both during oogenesis and embryonic development.
