Abstract
The structure and sequence of rat α-tubulin cDNA clone is being described. The 3'-end of the coding region contains the codon for a C-terminal tyrosine, which was previously considered to be post-translationally added to the completed polypeptide chain. A close homology in the coding sequence is observed when α-tubulin from rat and chick are compared, while the 3'-non-translated region has diverged considerably.Keywords
