title: Isolation of a cDNA clone for transition protein 1 (TP1), a major chromosomal protein of mammalian spermatids.
abstract: We have isolated a cDNA clone for rat transition protein 1 (TP1), a major chromosomal protein of mammalian spermatids. The clone was identified initially by hybrid selection of TP1 mRNA. The sequence of the 251-nucleotide cDNA includes the entire coding region for the protein, thereby confirming the identity of the clone as well as predicting two changes in the published amino acid sequence.
