High impact information on RPL17A

  • The RPL17B coding region is split by an intron that occurs in the same position (codons 14/15) as the intron in RPL17A [1].
  • A partial ORF was identified adjacent to RPL17B and SSU81 that is homologous to an ORF (designated A509) physically linked to RPL17A [1].
  • The DNA sequence of this region is different from that of the RPL17A gene and therefore represents a duplicate gene encoding L17 [1].
  • This observation, and the identical position of the introns within the RPL17 genes, suggest that one RPL17 locus arose by duplication and translocation of the other [1].
