Abstract
We report the cloning of a human complementary DNA
that encodes a protein which exhibits 36% identity
and 62% similarity to Escherichia coli ribosomal
protein S1 (rpS1), including conservation of four
copies of an RNA-binding domain. This clone was
obtained by ligand-screening a lambda gt11
expression library with a DNA probe derived from
the CYBB gene promoter. Electrophoretic mobility
shift and Southwestern blot assays confirm DNA
binding activity of the protein, which exhibits
preferential binding to single-stranded and
double-stranded DNA and a low binding affinity for
RNA. Hence, the rpS1 protein domain previously
identified as an RNA-binding motif can also serve
as a DNA-binding domain. |
