Plant cDNA homologue to rat insulinoma gene encoding ribosomal protein S15

Rat insulinoma gene (rig) was first isolated from a rat insulinoma cDNA library. Homologues of rig were also isolated from human, hamster, mouse, chicken and Xenopus laevis cDNA libraries. Using immunological methods, Kitagawa et al. demonstrated that rig is in fact encoding for ribosomal protein S1...

Description
Summary:Rat insulinoma gene (rig) was first isolated from a rat insulinoma cDNA library. Homologues of rig were also isolated from human, hamster, mouse, chicken and Xenopus laevis cDNA libraries. Using immunological methods, Kitagawa et al. demonstrated that rig is in fact encoding for ribosomal protein S15. We have isolated putative genes by random sequencing of cDNA clones prepared from suspension cultured cells of rice (Oryza sativa ). By comparing nucleotide sequences of cDNA clones to GenBank database, we found one cDNA clone showing high homology with rig. The entire nucleotide sequence (697 bp) of this cDNA (rice rig) contains an open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 152 amino acids.
