cDNA sequence analysis and expression of the expression of the ribosomal protein S24 during oogenesis and embryonic development of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1996 Apr 16;221(2):361-7. doi: 10.1006/bbrc.1996.0601.

Abstract

A gene for the Paracentrotus lividus ribosomal protein S24, called P1-S24, has been isolated and sequenced. Ribosomal protein P1-S24 consists 130 amino acids and has a molecular weight of 14869 Da. Sequence analysis shows a high percentage (90%) identity with the corresponding gene of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. Hybridization of the cDNA to digested sperm DNA suggests that P1-S24 is represented in no more than two copies. Studies of the temporal expression of P1-S24 gene indicate a good correlation between this and the expression of the rRNA genes both during oogenesis and embryonic development.
