title: Nucleotide sequence of AMS1, the structure gene of vacuolar alpha-mannosidase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: AMS1, a structure gene of the vacuolar membrane alpha-mannosidase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, has been characterized and found to encode both constituent polypeptides of the enzyme, a 107 kDa polypeptide and a 73 kDa polypeptide. The nucleotide sequence of AMS1 demonstrates that the gene encodes 1083 amino acids with a molecular weight 124,497. Although the enzyme is considered to exist on the inner surface of the vacuolar membrane, the predicted primary amino acid sequence does not have a hydrophobic stretch suitable for a signal sequence in its N-terminal region.
