Abstract
In the fission yeast, four genes (rpaP1-1, rpaP1-3,rpaP2-2, and rpaP2-4) en coding two variants of the RpaP1 and RpaP2 ribosomal proteins (rp) have bee n characterized. We have identified cDNA for additional variants called Rpa P1.5 and RpaP2.6. Sequence comparison suggests that RpaP1.5 diverged before RpaP1.1 and RpaP1.3 and that RpaP2.6 is closer to RpaP2.2 than to RpaP2.4. The corresponding genes, rpaP1-5 and rpaP2-6, are transcribed coordinately with other rp genes.
