SEQUENCING ANALYSIS OF A 40-CENTER-DOT-2 KB FRAGMENT OF YEAST CHROMOSOME-X REVEALS 19 OPEN READING FRAMES INCLUDING URA2 (5' END), TRK1, PBS2, SPT10, GCD14, RPE1, PHO86, NCA3, ASF1, CCT7, GZF3, 2 TRANSFER-RNA GENES, 3 REMNANT DELTA-ELEMENT AND A TY4 TRANSPOSON

The complete sequence of a 40 247 bp DNA segment located on the left a rm of chromosome X of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined and analysed. The sequence encodes the 5' coding region of the URA2 gene and 18 open reading frames of at least 100 amino acids. Ten of these c orrespond to known genes, whereas eight correspond to new genes. In ad dition, the sequence contains a tRNA-Ala gene, a tRNA-Asp gene, a Ty4 transposable element and three delta elements. The sequence has been d eposited in the EMBL databank under Accession Numbers: Z49405, Z49404, Z49403, Z49402, Z49401, Z49400, Z49399, Z49398, Z49397, Z49396, Z4939 4, Z49392, Z49391, Z49390, Z49389, Z49387, Z49386, Z49385.
