Abstract:
:We report here the molecular cloning, nucleotide sequence, and predicted amino acid sequence of an alpha-subunit of the developmentally useful model, Artemia. The amino acid sequence shows divergence from that of mammals, birds, Torpedo, and Drosophila. However, regions in the putative ATP binding and transmembrane domains show absolute or high levels of conservation. Major differences occur in the amino-terminal domain and several other hypervariable regions. These differences are consistent with the suggestion that the brine shrimp is a 'fast clock' organism which diverged from the precursors of vertebrates 0.5-1 billion years ago.
