title: Analysis of a 17.4 kb DNA segment of yeast chromosome II encompassing the ribosomal protein L19 as well as proteins with homologies to components of the hnRNP and snRNP complexes and to the human proliferation-associated p120 antigen.
abstract: We report the nucleotide sequence of a 17.4 kb DNA segment from the left arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome II. This sequence contains 12 open reading frames (ORFs) longer than 300 bp and a putative autonomously replicating sequence (ARS). The ORF YBL0418 contains the KH motif present in several nucleic acid-binding proteins and shares homologies with the mouse X protein of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complexes involved in pre-mRNA processing. YBL0424 is the yeast member of the ribosomal protein L19 (YL14) family. YBL0425 is related to the D1 core polypeptide of the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) particles involved in the splicing of introns. YBL0437 is a putative homologue of the human protein p120, one of the major antigens associated with malignant tumours. Mcm2, a protein important for ARS activity, as well as Aac2, one of the three isoforms of the mitochondrial ATP/ADP carrier, were previously described (Yan et al., 1991; Lawson and Douglas, 1988). Four ORFs show no homology or particular features that could help to assess their functions. The last ORFs are not likely to be expressed for they are localized on the complementary strand of longer ORFs.
