Abstract
A synthetic 20-mer based on the known amino acid (aa) sequence of the N-terminus of Sendai virus F1 polypeptide was synthesized. Using this dI-probe, which contained deoxyinosines at all six ambiguous codon positions, we isolated clones carrying cDNAs for the F mRNA of Sendai virus. Nucleotide (nt) sequence analysis revealed a long open reading frame (ORF) that encodes a protein of 565 aa. Thus, this type of dI-probes should prove useful for selecting cDNA clones, when the aa sequence is known and is characterized by high codon redundancy.Entities:
