A novel low Mr GTP-binding protein cDNA was isolated from a rat megakaryocyte cDNA library with a synthetic oligonucleotide probe corresponding to an 8-amino acid sequence specific for c25KG, a GTP-binding protein previously isolated from human platelet cytosol fraction [(1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 17000-17005]. The cDNA has an open reading frame encoding a protein of 221 amino acids with a calculated Mr of 25068. The protein is designated as ram (ras-related gene from megakaryocyte) protein (ram p25). The amino acid sequence deduced from the ram cDNA contains the consensus sequences for GTP-binding and GTPase domains. ram p25 shares about 23%, 39% and 80% amino acid homology with the H-ras, smg25A and c25KG proteins, respectively. The 3.5-kb ram mRNA was detected abundantly in spleen cells.

Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
