The rice prolamin fraction contains 10, 13 and 16 kDa polypeptides (1). cDNA sequences that encode 10 and 13 kDa prolamin polypeptides have been reported recently (2, 3). Here we report the sequence of a rice genomic DNA fragment that encodes the 10 kDa prolamin polypeptide. This genomic DNA clone was isolated from a rice XEMBL phage library from Clontech Laboratories Inc. by probing with a 10 kDa rice prolamin cDNA. The nucleotide sequence (1547 bp) of the genomic clone and the inferred amino acid sequence (134 residues) of 10 kDa prolamin polypeptide are shown below. The nucleotide sequence exactly matches the cDNA sequence (2) in the transcribed region. Putative TATA Box and polyadenylation sites are underlined.
