title: The primary structure of chicken ribosomal protein L5.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of a cDNA for chicken ribosomal protein L5, which is considered to associate with 5S rRNA, was determined. The cDNA is 975 bp long. The deduced protein has 297 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 34,090 Da. A comparative analysis of the amino acid sequences of chicken L5 and its homologous proteins revealed an extremely conserved region which contains a cluster of basic amino acids.
