Cloning of gene cluster for sarcotoxin I, antibacterial proteins of Sarcophaga peregrina

FEBS Lett. 1989 Dec 4;258(2):199-202. doi: 10.1016/0014-5793(89)81652-7.

Abstract

A genomic clone of sarcotoxin I was isolated. This clone contained four genes of structurally related proteins belonging to the sarcotoxin I family present in tandem array. One of these genes was sequenced and found to be the sarcotoxin IB gene. This gene contained a single intron of 95 bases.
