A cDNA encoding an avian homologue of the large subunit of replication
factor C (RFC-L) has been cloned from a duck liver cDNA expression li
brary prepared in bacteriophage lambda. The full length cDNA encodes a
protein with a predicted size of approximately 130 kDa, consistent wi
th the size of the polypeptide detected in duck liver. The duck RFC-L
amino acid sequence shares 66.4% and 68.4% identity with mouse and hum
an RFC-L proteins, respectively. We identified a 4kb RFC-L mRNA expres
sed in most duck tissues. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
