✦ Synopsis
We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a ribosomal protein gene which codes for the ribosomal protein $6 (rps6). The sequence analysis revealed that the gene comprises 239 amino acids, giving rise to a basic protein with a molecular weight of 27,502 Da. The product of this gene is the equivalent of the ribosomal protein $10 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Northern analyses and S1 mapping of both the 5' and the 3' end of the transcripts of this gene show that it is transcribed into three distinct transcripts with different sizes and heterogeneous termini. In the DNA region flanking the coding sequence, several conserved elements are present that may be involved in the transcription initiation and termination.

A DNA fragment which carries the leu1 gene encoding beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has been isolated by complementation of an E. coli leuB mutation. This 1.5 kb DNA fragment complements not only the S. pombe leu1 mutation, but also the S. cerevisiae leu2 mutation. Th
We isolated a Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Sz. pombe) gene encoding the counterpart of the TFIIH subunit Homo sapiens (H. sapiens) p44 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) SSL1, and we named this gene product p47. Contrary to the case of SSL1, which is an essential gene of S. cerevisiae, p47 i
