title: AFG1, a new member of the SEC18-NSF, PAS1, CDC48-VCP, TBP family of ATPases.
abstract: We have sequenced a gene that encodes a 377 amino acid putative protein with an ATPase motif typical of the protein family including SEC18p (NSF = N-ethyl maleimide-sensitive fusion protein; vesicle-mediated endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi protein transfer), PAS1p (peroxisome assembly), CDC48p (VCP = valosin-containing protein; cell cycle) and TBP1 (Tat-binding protein). This gene, AFG1 for ATPase family gene, also has substantial homology to these proteins outside the ATPase domain. AFG1 is located on chromosome V immediately centromere-proximal to MAK10.
