title: Yeast contains two functional genes coding for ribosomal protein S10.
abstract: The DNA sequence of the second copy of the gene coding for yeast ribosomal protein S10 was determined and compared with the sequence of the first gene-copy. In addition, the sites at which the transcription of these genes start and terminate are identified. The amino acid coding regions of the two gene copies are virtually identical. The leader and in particular the trailer sequences, however, are significantly different, while the intervening sequences have hardly any homology. Taking advantage of the sequence differences we could establish that both genes are expressed in the vegetatively growing yeast cell; the respective transcripts, however, differ in their relative amounts.
