| Abstract: | The nucleotide sequence of messenger RNA encoding rat liver aldolase B has been determined by sequence analysis using recombinant cDNAs cloned in bacterial plasmids. The sequence contains part of the 5'-untranslatable region (68 nucleotides), the entire coding region (1092 nucleotides), and the complete 3'-untranslatable region (387 nucleotides), excluding the poly(A) tail. A potential ribosomal-binding site is located about 30 nucleotides upstream from the initiation codon. The amino acid sequence of rat liver aldolase B is composed of 364 amino acids and has 70% homology with rabbit muscle aldolase A. |
