The features of Chr I of "Saccharomyces cerevisiae"


Chromosome I



Here we will describe Chromosome I (ChrI) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the smallest of sixteen chromosomes. It is constituted by a total of 230218 bp where one arm is composed by 78753 bp and the other one is 151465 bp. It is founded by 89 ORFs plus 4 tRNA genes (93 genes total). At least 5 of them are involved in replication: YAR007C (Subunit of heterotrimeric Replication Protein A - RPA); YAL013W (Component of the Rpd3L histone deacetylase complex); YAL021C (Component of the CCR4-NOT transcriptional complex); YAL015C (DNA N-glycosylase and apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) lyase); YAR002W (contributes directly to nucleocytoplasmic transport and maintenance of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) permeability barrier and is involved in gene tethering at the nuclear periphery). There are eleven ARS in this chromosome: ARS102, ARS103 (its sequence is in Figure 1), ARS104, ARS105, ARS106, ARS107, ARS108, ARS101, ARS110, AES11, ARS112.
