Six closely linked PRP (proline-rich protein) genes code for salivary PRPs that show frequent length and null polymorphisms. We report assignment of Ps proteins to the PRB1 gene, the derived primary structures of Ps 1 and Ps 2 proteins, and the molecular basis for some null alleles among PRB1-coded...
