Abstract excerpt
Ribosomal protein S6 (rpS6) is the major phosphoprotein of the small ribosomal subunit of eukaryotes and is phosphorylated in response to treatment with mitogens and other stimuli. We have examined the organization of the rpS6 gene of Drosophila melanogaster. Comparisons of a cDNA with genomic DNA identify a transcription unit including three exons. Two tandem repeats downstream of this transcription unit...
