Abstract
The structural gene encoding S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase (SAM-S ) in the fungus Ascobolus immersus has been cloned and sequenced. It c ontains a 1179-bp ORF, interrupted by three introns, encoding a 393-am ino-acid protein (42978 Da) that is 90% homologous to the SAM-S of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa, indicating that these fungi are closely related species.
