We cloned three genes from Mucor racemosus coding for protein synthesis elongation factor 1α (EF-1α). A 110-base-pair (bp) EF-1α-specific cDNA clone was identified by hybrid-selected translation. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA showed significant homology to a region of theSaccharomyces cerevisiaegenes for EF-1α (TEF1andTEF2). The cDNA was used to isolate an 850-bpEcoRI genomic DNA fragment containing a portion of the EF-1α gene. Screening of a λ/M.racemosusgenomic DNA bank with the 850-bpEcoRI probe resulted in the identification of three DNA fragments containing a common 850-bpEcoRI fragment within a short overlapping region. S1 nuclease analysis of the three EF-1α DNA fragments showed that the EF-1α transcript covered the short overlapping region in the clones. Restriction fragments purified from flanking regions in each clone were used to probe aHindIII digest ofM. racemosusgenomic DNA. Each flanking probe hybridized to one of three DNA fragments which hybridized to the 850-bp EF-1α-specific probe. Nucleotide sequence data from two random “shotgun clones” of one of the three genes show good homology to two regions ofS. cerevisiae TEF1. The data indicate the presence of three genes for EF-1α inM. racemosuslocated at unique sites in the genome.
