title: The LYS5 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: The LYS2 and LYS5 genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae together encode the 180-kDa alpha-aminoadipate reductase (AAR) in the biosynthetic pathway of lysine. The 4.8-kb LYS2 gene encodes the 155-kDa subunit of AAR. The complete nucleotide (nt) sequence of the 1.1-kb LYS5 gene is presented in this report. It contains a single continuous open reading frame of 816 nt encoding a 272-amino-acid, 30.6-kDa polypeptide.
