Sequencing and characterization of the Xenopus laevis ribosomal protein L34 cDNA.
In this paper, a cDNA homologous to the mammalian ribosomal protein (r-protein) L34 was isolated from a Xenopus laevis oocytes library and named XL34. It encodes a protein of 116 residues with an Mr of 13.2 kDa and a highly basic sequence. The nucleotide (nt) and deduced amino acid (aa) sequence have been compared with the L34 sequence from other species. This analysis showed that the L34 is a protein greatly conserved from prokaryotes to eukaryotes.XL34 mRNA is abundantly present in the whole cytoplasm of oocytes at stages 1 and 2.
