Abstract
We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a 3.3 kb fragment contai ning the gene (ADE2) encoding phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase (AIRC) from the yeast Schwanniomyces occidentalis. Translation of a 1 671 bp open reading frame predicts a protein of 557 amino acids which has significant homology to AIRC from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Sch izosaccharomyces pombe. The 5' untranslated region of the S occidental is gene contains a sequence corresponding to the consensus binding sit e of the S. cerevisiae transcription regulatory proteins GCN4, BAS1 an d BAS2. The ADE2 gene nucleotide sequence has received the GenBank Acc ession Number U23210.
