title: cDNA nucleotide sequence and expression of a maize cytoplasmic ribosomal protein S13 gene.
abstract: The complete amino acid sequence of a cytoplasmic ribosomal protein S13 of maize was deduced from the cDNA isolated from a maize cDNA library. The encoded protein is 151 amino acids long and shows a homology of 73% with the corresponding protein S13 of rat. Southern blots analysis shows that the maize protein S13 is encoded by a small multigene family conserved in plant species closely related to maize. The S13 RNAs accumulate preferentially in proliferating tissues and cells and their transcription occurs in parallel to the DNA synthesis.
