A novel cDNA clone encoding a putative EIN3-like protein (LeEIL4) was identified from ripening tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruit. The predicted amino acid sequence contained conserved domains of EIN3-like proteins in the N-terminal half. In phylogenetic analysis, LeEIL4 was classified into the cluster consisting of EIN3 and EIN3-like proteins known to be involved in ethylene signal transduction. LeEIL4 transcripts accumulated in all tissues examined, with higher levels in ripening fruit.
从成熟番茄（Lycopersicon esculentum）果实中鉴定出一个编码假定的EIN3样蛋白（LeEIL4）的新cDNA克隆。预测的氨基酸序列在N端的一半包含EIN3样蛋白的保守结构域。在系统发育分析中，LeEIL4被归类到由已知参与乙烯信号转导的EIN3和EIN3样蛋白组成的簇中。LeEIL4转录本在所有检测的组织中都有积累，在成熟果实中的水平更高。
