The gene encoding the largest subunit of RNA polymerase I (SPRPA190) was cloned from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe by cross-hybridization with a probe containing part of the corresponding Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene RPA190. The SPRPA190 gene is present in a single copy per haploid genome and is essential for cell growth. The polypeptide encoded by this gene, as deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the uninterrupted coding frame, consists of 1689 amino acids and its calculated Mr is 189,300. The amino acid identity between the subunits of the two yeast species is 50%. Amino acid sequence conservation covers the regions previously suggested to be functionally important for the S. cerevisiae enzyme. In addition, two markedly hydrophilic regions recognized in the S. cerevisiae polypeptide can also be recognized in the S. pombe polypeptide in approximately the same positions, even though the amino acid sequences in these regions are diverged from each other. In the 5'-flanking region of the gene, several nucleotide sequence elements are detected which are also found in the two S. pombe ribosomal protein genes so far sequenced.
