Nucleotide sequences flanking the translational initiation site were compiled from protozoan nuclear genes and were compared in every protozoan group. The entire 5'-untranslated sequences were very rich in A- and T-residues, but poor in G- and C-residues in most protozoan genes except for the flagellated ones. The sequence AAAAATTTTTAAAATTTAAAATGANAT emerged as a consensus sequence flanking the initiation site in the major protozoan group, although the sequences upstream from -4 (four nucleotide ...[more]
