Protein B23 (Mr/pI = 38,000/5.1) is a major RNA-associated nucleolar phosphoprotein which contains highly acidic segments and has a high affinity for silver ions. Using synthetic oligonucleotides as probes cloned cDNAs encoding protein B23 were isolated and characterized. One of the cDNAs, obtained from a rat brain library, contained an insert of 1232 base pairs of DNA encoding a polypeptide of 292 amino acid residues. Segments of the protein sequence were confirmed by partial sequencing of CNBr fragments from rat hepatoma protein B23. The protein contains a methionine-rich amino-terminal sequence and two highly acidic segments in the center of the sequence. The first acidic segment, in which 11 of the 13 residues are acidic, begins at residue 120 and contains a major phosphorylation site. In the second segment (residues 159-187) there are four copies of the sequence Asp-Asp-Glu, and all but two of the 29 residues have acidic side chains. When the sequence of the rat protein was compared with available sequences from other species a high degree of conservation was found; the 77-residue carboxyl-terminal sequence is identical with that of human protein B23 (Chan, P. K., Chan, W.-Y., Yung, B. Y. M., Cook, R. G., Aldrich, M. B., Ku, D., Goldknopf, I. L., and Busch, H. (1986) J. Biol. Chem. 261, 14335-24341), and about 63% of the residues are identical when the rat B23 sequence is compared with protein N038 from Xenopus laevis (Schmidt- Zachmann, M. S., Hugle-Dorr, B., and Franke, W. (1987) EMBO J. 6, 1881- 1890). Except for the presence of highly acidic regions no significant similarities were found with protein C23 (nucleolin), the other major nucleolar protein.
