Abstract excerpt
A gene encoding the alpha-subunit of a guanine nucleotide binding regulatory protein (G-protein) was isolated from a library of genomic Caenorhabditis elegans DNA. The predicted coding region is colinear to related genes from mammals and the 356 amino acid residues show 63% sequence identity to e.g. rat Gi alpha 2. Three of the eight introns within the coding sequence are at exactly the same positions as those in...
