The γ-actin encoding gene from the β-carotene producerBlakeslea trispora [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2005 We determined the nucleotide sequence of a 4599-bp DNA genomic fragment including the γ-actin encoding gene from Blakeslea trispora, showing an open reading frame of 1561 bp interrupted by four introns with fungal consensus splice-site junctions. The untranslated regions of the actA gene contain a consensus TATA box, a CCAAT motif, a large pyrimidine ...
