Isolation and sequence of the Drosophila virilis 60 A gene, a transforming growth factor-beta superfamily member related to vertebrate bone morphogenetic proteins.

The complete protein-coding region of the Drosophila virilis 60 A gene, a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily, was isolated and sequenced. The mature domain of the protein-coding region is 99% identical to the Drosophila melanogaster 60 A gene and 73% identical to human bone morphogenetic protein 5. In the pro-domain, a number of large blocks of amino acids are also highly conserved, indicating an important functional role for this portion of the protein as well. In the putative 5' and 3' untranslated regions, several short sequence motifs are conserved between D. virilis and D. melanogaster.[1]
