title: PKC1, encoding a protein kinase C, and FAT1, encoding a fatty acid transporter protein, are neighbors in Cochliobolus heterostrophus.
abstract: A protein kinase C gene (PKC1) and adjacent DNA of the filamentous ascomycete Cochliobolus heterostrophus was cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence of PKC1 shows high homology to PKCs of other filamentous fungi and all define a new subgroup of PKCs. All attempts to disrupt PKC1 failed, suggesting, but not proving, that disruption of PKC1 function is lethal. About 1 kb 3' of PKC1 is FAT1 encoding a putative bifunctional fatty acid transporter/very-long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase.
