Identification of rpaP1-5 and rpaP2-6 genes encoding two additional variants of the 60S acidic ribosomal proteins of Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Genome. 2000 Feb;43(1):205-7. doi: 10.1139/g99-102.

Abstract

In the fission yeast, four genes (rpaP1-1, rpaP1-3, rpaP2-2, and rpaP2-4) encoding two variants of the RpaP1 and RpaP2 ribosomal proteins (rp) have been characterized. We have identified cDNA for additional variants called RpaP1.5 and RpaP2.6. Sequence comparison suggests that RpaP1.5 diverged before RpaP1.1 and RpaP1.3 and that RpaP2.6 is closer to RpaP2.2 than to RpaP2.4. The corresponding genes, rpaP1-5 and rpaP2-6, are transcribed coordinately with other rp genes.
