Abstract:To identify the homolog of the PA28-a subunit, a leukocyte cDNA library of common carp was screened and the full-length cDNA sequence of the PSME1 gene coding for the PA28-a was obtained. It encompasses 1097 nucleotides (nt), with an open reading frame encoding 249 amino acids. The deduced protein sequence exhibits identities of 92, 78, 78, 77, 75, 56, 54, 53 and 54% with zebrafish, Atlantic salmon, northern pike, rainbow trout, rainbow smelt, mouse, pig, cattle and human PA28-a subunits, respectively.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
