U. Fuchs et al., ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND SEQUENCE OF A CDNA-ENCODING GAMMA-TUBULIN PROTEIN FROM THE FERN ANEMIA-PHYLLITIDIS L SW, Plant molecular biology, 23(3), 1993, pp. 595-603
A complete cDNA encoding gamma-tubulin protein from Anemia phyllitidis
is presented. The deduced amino acid sequence shows an average simila
rity of 81-86% to known gamma-tubulin genes from insects, mammals and
fungi. Northern blots indicate the existence of transcripts of ca. 1.9
kb which are expressed during gametogenesis of A. phyllitidis. The ge
ne described is the first cloned and entirely sequenced gamma-tubulin
gene in any plant.
