✦ Synopsis

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. The nucleotide sequence of the essential part of the leu1 gene and its flanking regions was determined. This sequence contains an open reading frame of 371 codons, from which a protein having a Mr = 39,732 can be predicted. The deduced amino acid sequence and its codon usage were compared with those of the S. cerevisiae LEU2 protein. The cloned DNA will be a useful marker when transforming S. pombe.

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 equival

By complementation screening of a cadmium-sensitive Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutant deficient in phytochelatin synthesis, but with 44% of the wild-type glutathione content, we cloned a DNA fragment involved in phytochelatin synthesis. Sequence analysis revealed that it encodes the second enzyme inv
