Yi. Satoh et al., NUCLEOTIDE-SEQUENCE OF THE PROTON ATPASE BETA-SUBUNIT HOMOLOG OF THE SEA-URCHIN HEMICENTROTUS-PULCHERRIMUS, Zoological science, 11(1), 1994, pp. 153-156
A cDNA with 2.3 kb encoding F-1-F-0 ATP synthase (proton ATPase) beta-
subunit homologue was isolated from a testis cDNA library of the sea u
rchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. The deduced amino acid sequence con
sisted of 523 residues which contained a 19-residue amino-terminal sig
nal peptide and a 8-residue glycine-rich consensus sequences. Analysis
of poly(A)(+)RNA and/or total RNA from H. pulcherrimus testis, ovary,
unfertilized eggs, and embryos by Northern blot revealed a 2.4 kb RNA
.
