Sequence of a Euplotes crassus macronuclear DNA molecule encoding a protein with homology to a rat form-I phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C

J Protozool. 1991 Jul-Aug;38(4):425-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1550-7408.1991.tb01381.x.

Abstract

A 604-base pair macronuclear DNA molecule from the hypotrichous ciliate Euplotes crassus was cloned and its DNA sequence determined. The DNA sequence contains an open reading frame capable of encoding a protein 141 amino acids in length. The putative protein contains significant sequence similarity to other eukaryotic proteins, including the rat form-I phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase-C.
