Screening of a flounder ovary cDNA library with a rainbow trout p53 probe led to the isolation of a p53-unrelated cDNA encoding an unknown 161 amino acid protein. In view of its apparent molecular weight and yet unknown function, the deduced protein was named Xp18. Corresponding orthologous cDNAs or expressed sequence tags have been identified in several species including human, rodents, bovine, chicken and zebrafish and a related cDNA has also been isolated in the fruit fly. Deduced amino acid sequences appeared to be extremely well conserved throughout vertebrate evolution. Structure predictions suggested that Xp 18 may correspond to an integral protein comprising four transmembrane domains. The charged C-termini of all known vertebrate Xp18-like... |
