We have isolated two cDNA clones, PhRL15 and PhRL27a, encoding cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins L15 and L27a, from a cDNA library prepared from petunia petal protoplast cultures. An expressed sequence tag (EST) strategy was employed. PhRL15 and PhRL27a contained open reading frames corresponding to proteins of 204 and 150 amino acids and molecular weights of 24,100 and 17,000Da, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequences of these clones are about 60% to 70%, identical with those of yeast and rat. Southern blot analysis indicates that each gene may be encoded by a small multigene. The transcription levels of both clones were high in young vegetative organs, at the early event of floral development, and in dividing petal protoplast, and relatively low in highly differentiated reproductive organs. Our results demonstrate that the expression levels of both clones are correlated with the rate of growth and coordinatively controlled in petunia plant.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012269 Ribosomal Proteins Proteins found in ribosomes. They are believed to have a catalytic function in reconstituting biologically active ribosomal subunits. Proteins, Ribosomal,Ribosomal Protein,Protein, Ribosomal
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.
