Abstract
We describe a Drosophila melanogaster cDNA clone encoding an amino aci d (aa) sequence 75% identical to human ribosomal protein S4 (RPS4). Th e D. melanogaster RPS4 has 260 aa, if the NH2-terminal methionine is r emoved after translation of the mRNA. The mRNA for the protein is abou t 1 kb in length and is detected throughout the developmental stages t ested (i.e., embryo, larva, pupa and adult). The cDNA clone hybridizes to two sites on the X chromosome, 1B1-2 and 3A3-6.
