title: Nucleotide sequence of ornithine decarboxylase antizyme cDNA from Xenopus laevis.
abstract: An ornithine decarboxylase antizyme cDNA was obtained from Xenopus laevis liver and its sequence was determined. The cDNA consists of two major open reading frames as found in mammalian antizymes, which require +1 ribosomal frameshifting for its translation. Sequences important for frameshifting, namely the frameshift site and downstream stimulatory pseudoknot determined in the rat mRNA, are conserved.
