Sequence and Analysis of a 36·2 kb Fragment from the Right Arm of Yeast Chromosome XV Reveals 19 Open Reading Frames Including SNF2 (5′ end), CPA1, SLY41, a Putative Transport ATPase,a Putative Ribosomal Protein and an SNF2 Homologue

The complete sequence of a 36 196 bp DNA segment located on the right arm of chromosome XV of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined and analysed. The sequence includes the 5′ coding region of the SNF2 gene, the CPA1 leader peptide sequence and 17 open reading frames (ORFs) of at least 100 amino acids. Two of these correspond to previously known genes (CPA1, SLY41), whereas 15 correspond to new genes. The putative translation products of three ORFs show significant similarity with known proteins: one is a putative transport ATPase, another appears to be a ribosomal protein, and the third is an Snf2p homologue. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL databank under Accession Numbers: Z75198, Z75199, Z75200, Z75201, Z75202, Z75203, Z75204, Z75205, Z75206, Z75207, Z75209, Z75210, Z75211, Z75212, Z75213, Z75214, Z75215, Z75216. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
