Nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding mouse transition protein 2.
The gene encoding the testis-specific basic chromosomal protein, mouse transition protein 2, is split by a single small intron that falls between the first and second nucleotides of a codon. Since the genes encoding protamines 1 and 2 and transition protein 1 in mammals contain a single intron in the same position, protamines and transition proteins appear to be evolutionarily related.
