title: Isolation of a yeast tropomyosin-related cDNA clone that encodes a novel transmembrane protein having a C-terminal highly basic region.
abstract: A novel cDNA clone was isolated from a yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae lambda gt11 cDNA library using rabbit anti-rat tropomyosin (TM30nm) polyclonal antibody (RTM8-2). It consists of an open reading frame of 951 bp, encoding 317 amino acid residues. The putative sequence recognized by RTM8-2 was present in Asn-235 to Thr-250. The deduced amino acid sequence and hydropathy plot suggested that this protein has a tropomyosin-homologous sequence, a predicted transmembrane, and a C-terminal basic region. A search of the data bases (EMBL and GenBank) revealed that the 128bp sequence in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) is almost identical (96.9%) to the human cDNA clone 54E05 sequence (EMBL accession number Z15978).
