The large subunit of eukaryotic ribosomes contains acidic phosphoproteins which are related to L7/L12 from Escherichia coli. In the brine shrimp artemia these proteins are designated eL 12 and eL 12''. c[Complementary] DNA clones were isolated for these proteins from a cDNA bank that was constructed by the use of size-fractionated poly(A)-rich RNA (8-10S fraction) from artemia and a synthetic oligonucleotide as primer. Clones containing DNA sequences coding for eL 12 and eL 12'' were characterized by hybrid-selected translation and DNA sequencing. The proteins eL 12 and eL 12'' share an identical peptide of 22 amino acids at their carboxy termini; the remaining part of the protein shows little sequence homology. The nucleotide sequences show a different codon use for the amino acids in the common carboxy terminus, thereby excluding a common exon coding for this part of both proteins. Despite the differences in amino acid sequence in the major part of eL 12 and eL 12'' the proteins have a considerable degree of homology on the basis of the distribution of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids over the polypeptide chains, in agreement with a related folding and function of both proteins. Relative levels of mRNA coding for eL 12, eL 12'' and elongation factor 1.alpha. were determined during the development of artemia from a dormant cyst to a nauplius. The data show a coordinate expression of the genes for EF-1 .alpha. and both ribosomal proteins, excluding a differential expression of the genes for these related ribosomal proteins during embryogenesis. Analysis of the gene copy number for eL 12 and eL 12'' indicates the presence of a few genes for each protein.
