Abstract
In the present study, a full-length cDNA (designated Hc-vha-6) inferred to encode an α subunit of a vacuolar-type proton translocating adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase) was isolated from the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus, and characterized. The transcript for Hc-vha-6 was detected in all developmental stages and both sexes of H. contortus. Elements, including two TATA box (TATAA), two inverted CAAT box (ATTGG), five E box (CANNTG) and six GATA as well as five inverse GATA (TTATC) transcription factor motifs, were identified in the non-coding region upstream of Hc-vha-6. The open reading frame (ORF) of 2601 nucleotides encoded a protein (Hc-VHA-6) of 866 amino acids and a molecula..
