Abstract excerpt
A genomic clone of the Aedes aegypti vitellogenin A1 gene was sequenced including 2015 bp of 5' untranscribed sequence, 6369 bp of open reading frame interrupted by two introns, and a short 3' untranslated region. Primer extension was used to identify the transcription initiation site. The amino termini of the large and small subunits were located by N-terminal sequencing of vitellin purified from eggs. The...
