Protein p34 is a non-glycosylated membrane protein characteristic of rough microsomes and is believed to play a role in the ribosome-membrane association. In the present study we isolated cDNA encoding p34 from a rat liver cDNA library and determined its complete amino acid sequence. p34 mRNA is 3.2 kb long and encodes a polypeptide of 307 amino acids with a molecular mass of about 34.9 kDa. Primary sequence analysis, coupled with biochemical studies on the topology, suggested that p34 is a type II signal-anchor protein; it is composed of a large cytoplasmic domain, a membrane-spanning segment and a 38-amino-acid-long luminally disposed C-terminus. The cytoplasmic domain of p34 has several noteworthy structural features, including a region of 4.5 tandem repeats of 23-24 amino acids. The repeated motif shows structural similarity to the leucine-rich repeat which is found in a variety of proteins widely distributed among eukaryotic cells and which potentially functions in mediating protein-protein interactions. The cytoplasmic domain also contains a characteristic hydrophilic region with abundant charged amino acids. These structural regions may be important for the observed ribosome-binding activity of the p34 protein.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

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).
