title: Primary structure of rat ribosomal protein L36a.
abstract: The amino acid sequence of rat ribosomal protein L36a, which may form part of the peptidyl transferase center, was deduced from the sequence of nucleotides in a recombinant cDNA and confirmed from the amino-terminal amino acid sequence of the protein. Ribosomal protein L36a contains 105 amino acids (the amino-terminal methionine is removed after translation of the mRNA) and has a molecular weight of 12,311. Hybridization of the cDNA to digests of nuclear DNA suggests that there are multiple copies of the L36a gene. Rat ribosomal protein L36a is homologous to a protein HL44 present in ribosomes of humans and protein 44 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribosomes.
