Four small Drosophila heat shock proteins are related to each other and to mammalian alpha-crystallin.
Open accessAbstract
The primary base sequence of the protein coding regions of the four small heat shock genes of Drosophila melanogaster present at cytological locus 67B has been determined. A single open reading frame large enough to encode a small heat shock protein is found for each gene. The molecular weights of the predicted proteins are in good agreement with experimentally determined values obtained from gel electrophoresis. The predicted amino acid sequences of the four small heat shock genes show striking homologies over approximately 50% of their lengths. This region of extensive homology extends from about amino acid 85 to amino acid 195 out of a total of approximately 200 amino acids. Comparison of the predicted sequence with the known sequences of other proteins revealed a remarkable similarity between this region of homology and the corresponding region of mammalian alpha-crystallin. The possible functional significance of this structural similarity is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
