โœฆ Synopsis


Opium poppy latex contains a group of laticifer-specific, low-molecular-weight polypeptides called major latex proteins (MLPs). Here we describe a new member of the MLP gene family (gMLP 22) which shares 79.6 ~o nucleotide and 84.6 ~o amino acid sequence identity with previously isolated clones. DNA gel blot analysis indicates that the MLPs are encoded by at least eight genes which are divided into two subfamilies. The expression pattern for each subfamily, as seen in RNA gel blots, appears to be identical and laticifer-specific.

The fertilin a and b genes (Ftna and Ftnb, respectively) encode a sperm surface heterodimer that functions in sperm-egg fusion. They are the first identified members of a large gene family coding for multidomain membrane proteins (ADAMs) that include A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease domain. In this
