An ornithine decarboxylase antizyme cDNA was obtained from Xenopus lae
vis liver and its sequence was determined. The cDNA consists of two ma
jor open reading frames as found in mammalian antizymes, which require
+1 ribosomal frameshifting for its translation, Sequences important f
or frameshifting, namely the frameshift site and downstream stimulator
y pseudoknot determined in the rat mRNA, are conserved.
