title: The sequence of a cDNA encoding the major vault protein from Rattus norvegicus.
abstract: We have isolated a cDNA clone encoding the 104-kDa major vault protein (MVP) from Rattus norvegicus. The complete nucleotide sequence was determined. Comparison of the deduced amino acid (aa) sequence to that of MvpA from Dictyostelium discoideum revealed that the proteins share about 57% aa identity. Southern blot analysis indicates that the rat MVP is a single-copy gene.
