Subtelomeric duplications in Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosomes III and XI: topology, arrangements, corrections of sequence and strain-specific polymorphism.
We have determined the sequence of a 3.42 kb segment from the left arm of chromosome III (coordinates 5394-8815 of Oliver et al., 1992). Instead of four open reading frames (ORFs) listed previously, the verified sequence reveals the presence of only one ORF, renamed YCL070/73c, encoding a protein of 615 amino acids. The putative product of ORF YCL070/73c shows 98.5% identity and 99% similarity with the protein of the same length encoded by ORF YKR106w from the right arm of chromosome XI and displays a topology characteristic for the Major Facilitators Superfamily of membrane proteins. These corrections will be deposited in the EMBL data library under the Accession Number X59720. In strain S288C the subtelomeric sequence 4319-11 215 of chromosome III is 98.3% identical with the subtelomeric sequence of 658 204-665 061 from the right arm of chromosome XI. Using various subtelomeric probes from chromosome III (coordinates 2097-3646 of S288C) we have analysed eight different Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains and the closely related species S. douglasii: some S. cerevisiae strains have additional duplications and longer chromosomes XI; in all strains chromosome III contains the 1200-11 000 segment (strain FL100 is disomic) while S. douglasii does not show any hybridization in this region.
