ABSTRACT
Object To develop the gene resources of Jilin Shuangyang sika deer,a rare animal in China and reveal the pharmacological functions of deer medicinal material on the molecular level. Methods A cDNA plasmid library of spleen cells derived from Shuangyang sika deer was set up. Some housekeeping genes were cloned and analyzed. Results One of the cDNA sequences and it's deduced amino acid sequence in deer share high homology with a group of cDNA sequences encoding ribosomal protein L27 in human,rat,Canis and mouse and their corresponding amino acid sequence respectively. It has the completed open reading frame as well. Conclusion A novel full-length cDNA encoding Shuangyang sika deer ribosomal protein L27 is discovered. This sequence has been deposited in Genbank under accession number AF373231.
