The amino acid sequence of the rat 60S ribosomal subunit protein L23 was deduced from the sequence of nucleotides in two recombinant cDNAs. Ribosomal protein L23 has 140 amino acids and a molecular weight of 14,856. Hybridization of the cDNA to digests of nuclear DNA suggests that there are 7-9 copies of the L23 gene. The mRNA for the protein is about 600 nucleotides in length. Rat L23 is homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae L17a and related to Escherichia coli L14 and other members of the prokaryotic L14 family.
