Abstract: | The complete nucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone for carbohydrate binding protein 35, a galactose-specific lectin identified in the nucleus of mouse 3T3 fibroblasts, has been determined. The deduced amino acid sequence suggests that the protein consists of two domains: (a) an amino-terminal portion that is homologous to certain regions of proteins of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein complex, and (b) a carboxyl-terminal portion that is homologous to beta-D-galactoside-specific lectins isolated from a number of animal tissues. This two-domain motif is reminiscent of several DNA- and RNA-binding proteins. |
