Characterization of the BUD31 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

A number of genes have been identified in the fully sequenced genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that appear to be conserved throughout evolution and the function of which remains poorly understood. In this manuscript we describe the initial characterization of yeast BUD31 gene. cDNA sequences highly related to BUD31 have been identified in human, Xenopus laevis, and Caenorhabditis elegans.
