title: Cloning and sequence of the Ascobolus immersus S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase-encoding gene.
abstract: The structural gene encoding S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase (SAM-S) in the fungus Ascobolus immersus has been cloned and sequenced. It contains a 1179-bp ORF, interrupted by three introns, encoding a 393-amino-acid protein (42 978 Da) that is 90% homologous to the SAM-S of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa, indicating that these fungi are closely related species.
