title: Isolation and sequence analysis of a cDNA clone encoding the entire catalytic subunit of a type-2A protein phosphatase.
abstract: A 2.5 kb clone containing the full-length coding sequence of a type-2A protein phosphatase catalytic subunit has been isolated from a rabbit skeletal muscle cDNA library constructed in lambda gt10. The sequence of the protein deduced from the cDNA contains 309 residues (35.58 kDa). A major mRNA species at 2.0 kb and a minor component at 2.8 kb were visualized by Northern blotting in both skeletal muscle and liver. The type-2A enzyme showed weak homology with mammalian alkaline phosphatases between residues 55 and 95. The protein sequence of the type-2A phosphatase from rabbit skeletal muscle differs from that reported for the bovine adrenal enzyme in three regions.
