alpha-Tubulin of Histriculus cavicola (Ciliophora; Hypotrichea)

P Pérez-Romero et al. Microbiologia. 1997 Mar.

Abstract

An alpha-tubulin gene fragment amplified by PCR from the hypotrichous ciliate Histriculus cavicola has been sequenced. This fragment, 1,182 bp long, contains an in-frame "stop" codon (UAA), which in other hypotrichous species codes for a glutamine residue. The comparison of the alpha-tubulin genes from several ciliates classes have revealed amino acid positions which could serve to distinguish these taxonomic groups.
