DESCRIPTION

Acidic ribosomal proteins, called A-proteins or P-proteins, are generally present in multiple copies on the ribosome and have isoelectric points in the range of pH 3 to 5, in contrast to most ribosomal proteins, which are single copy and basic. A-proteins have hydrophobic amino acid compositions, notably about 20% alanine.

CLONING

Rich and Steitz (1987) described the isolation and analysis of 3 cDNA molecules that encode the human P-proteins, P2, P1 (180520), and P0 (180510). The human P1 and P2 cDNA nucleotide sequences and deduced amino acid sequences of the proteins are very similar to the sequences that have been determined for the corresponding rat, shrimp, and yeast proteins and cDNAs. P0 sequences had not previously been described. To demonstrate that the coding sequences are full length, Rich and Steitz (1987) transcribed the P0, P1, and P2 cDNAs in vitro. The P0, P1, and P2 proteins produced were serologically and electrophoretically identical to P-proteins extracted from HeLa cells. The deduced P2 protein contains 115 amino acids. Northern blot analysis revealed expression of a 0.60-kb transcript in HeLa cells. ... More on the omim web site
