A. Fischli et al., THE TRANSLATION INITIATION-FACTOR EIF4A FROM SCHIZOSACCHAROMYCES-POMBE IS CLOSELY-RELATED TO ITS MAMMALIAN COUNTERPART, Yeast, 12(10), 1996, pp. 977-981
We have isolated a cDNA clone encoding eIF4A from Schizosaccharomyces
pombe. The deduced protein sequence is similar in length and sequence
to other eIF4A proteins and exhibits highest similarity with the mamma
lian eIF4A protein. Hybridization with genomic DNA reveals two eIF4A g
enes located on two different chromosomes. This sequence has been depo
sited in the EMBL Data Library under Accession Number X80796.
