Isolation and characterization of a rice cDNA which encodes the eukaryotic initiation factor 4A.
We isolated a rice cDNA which encodes an open reading frame of 413 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence corresponds to eukaryotic initiation factor 4A (eIF-4A) protein. A comparison to the equivalent sequence from tobacco and mouse shows 93.7% and 68.0% homology, respectively.
