Sequence analysis of a processed gene coding for mouse ribosomal protein L32

The nucleotide sequence of a mouse ribosomal protein gene, identified by hybridization with the gene encoding the Drosophila ribosomal (r-) protein 49, was determined by cloning in the phage M13 and dideoxy sequencing. The mouse gene, L32', is a member of the multigene family encoding mammalian r-protein L32. L32' is a processed gene that could encode a 135 amino acid protein similar to that of mouse L32 and Drosophila r-protein 49.
