Summary | Four distinct cDNAs for actin receptor designated as XSTK2, 3, 8 and 9 have been cloned from a Xenopus laevis cDNA library. The protein structures deduced from the cDNAs have shown that they all have a putative extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic Ser/Thr kinase domain, except that XDTK2 is extremely similar to the XDTK3 gene but lacks a carboxyl-terminal part of the kinase motif. Northern blot analysis showed that all transcripts are maternally inherited. The levels of transcript for XDTK2, 3 and 8 appeared to fluctuate during early development while those for XDTK9 maintain constant. |
