Abstract: | We report here the DNA sequence of a segment of chromosome XI of Saccharomyces cerevisiae extending over 10.7 kb. The sequence was determined using a double-strand sequencing strategy adapted from the random-clone strategy. The segment contains seven non-overlapping long open reading frames, YKL500, 505, 510, 513, 516, 518 and 520 and one tRNA gene. YKL505 and YKL513 are two already sequenced genes, the BAF1/ABF1 and the APN1 genes, respectively. YKL510 exhibits a strong homology to the RAD2 protein and YKL516 is presumably a protein kinase. |
