Recently we reported the sequence of a c D N A encoding a proline-rich protein that is preferentially expressed in young tomato fruit. This clone represents a single-copy gene (designated TPRPF1) in the tomato genome [5]. The cDNA clone was used as a probe to screen a tomato genomic library in 2Ch35 (supplied by R. Fischer) [4], and to isolate the homologous genomic clone G16. The 12 kb insert of G16 hybridizing to cDNA clones 1-36-1 and 1El [5] was subcloned into pBluescript (Stratagene) and the corresponding D N A region was sequenced using the dideoxy method [6]. Sequence analysis of the deduced open reading frame revealed the existence of proline-rich repeating amino acids motifs, e.g. PPIV (10 x ), P P S T (6 x ) and PTPP (5 x ) etc. These motifs resemble those found in extensins, a family of plant cell wall proteins characterized by their high hydroxyproline content, and have repeating structures [7, 9]. Similar to other proline-rich protein genes for which spatial and temporal regulation of expression has been reported [e.g. 2, 3, 8], the expression of TPRP-F1 is also organ- and temporally specific. Comparison of the c D N A sequence [5] with

the TPRP-F1 genomic D N A sequence, revealed the existence of a 327 bp intron (underlined in Fig. 1) within the 3' untranslated region of the transcript. Otherwise, both sequences are identical throughout their overlapping region. The sequence identity exists even though the genomic and the c D N A clones were isolated from different cultivars: the cDNA clones from cultivar Arava and G16 from cultivar V F N T Cherry. This is the third observation of an intron in this unusual location, in genes encoding proline-rich proteins; the other two are a carrot extensin [ 1, 7] and a maize H R G P gene [8]. The existence of an intron in the 3' untranslated region of the transcript, in these three different genes, in both monoand dicotyledonous plants, suggests that they may have evolved from a single ancestral gene. Whether this intron has any biological function can be tested experimentally.
