Multi-gene structure of the storage protein genes of Sarcophaga peregrina.
Three recombinant phages containing chromosomal segments of Sarcophaga peregrina encoding storage protein were isolated. These clones were found to contain sequences hybridized with the messenger RNA of 75,000 Mr protein, a monomer of storage protein. From restriction analysis it was found that message-homologous regions are not identical, and thus are different genes with similar sequences. From the analysis of these clones it was concluded that the storage protein gene belongs to a multi-gene family.
