Identification of an Artemia franciscana retropseudogene containing part of the last exons of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase-encoding SERCA gene.
A genomic clone has been isolated which contains sequences highly homologous to part of exon 14 and exons 15, 16 and 17 of the Artemia franciscana sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase(SERCA)-encoding gene, but none of the introns. The homologous region extends to the 3' end of the mRNA, although the poly(A) tail is not present. The structure of this clone suggests that it represents a 5'-end-truncated retropseudogene (r psi).
