ANALYSIS OF AN 11-CENTER-DOT-6 KB REGION FROM THE RIGHT ARM OF CHROMOSOME-VII OF SACCHAROMYCES-CEREVISIAE BETWEEN THE RAD2 AND THE MES1 GENES REVEALS THE PRESENCE OF 3 NEW GENES

Sequence analysis of an 11 628 bp DNA segment from the right arm of Sa ccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome VII revealed the presence of the 5' end of the RAD2 gene, the MES1 gene and six open reading frames (ORFs) each longer than 300 bp. Four of these ORFs are expressed genes, as i ndicated by transcript analysis. One of them, YGR261c, which specifies a putative beta-adaptine, corresponds to gene YKS5, which has recentl y been identified as a suppressor of loss of casein kinase 1 function. The remaining three ORFs are new genes; of these, YGR260w encodes a p rotein showing similarity to the S. cerevisiae allantoate permease and YGR262c specifies a putative protein kinase. The sequence has been de posited in the EMBL data library under Accession Number Y07777. (C) 19 97 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
