As an extension of our analysis of the translational apparatus ofMucor racemosuswe have isolated a gene encoding a ribosomal protein ofMucor. Based on a method developed forS. cerevisiae, we identified by hybrid selection andin vitrotranslation a λ-Charon 4A clone containing the genomic copy of aMucorribosomal protein. The gene consisted of two exons of 57 and 387 nucleotides. The two exons were separated by an 131 nucleotide intron. The processed transcript was 714 nucleotides in length and contained a 25 nucleotide untranscribed leader and an 114 nucleotide untranscribed 3′-end. The protein predicted from the nucleotide sequence contained 148 amino acids and exhibited 61% identity with the S19 ribosomal protein ofXenopus laevis. The promoter region of the gene contained sequences highly homologous to theRPGandHomollpromoter elements found inS. cerevisiae. Southern blot analysis indicated that theMucor genomecontains three copies of this gene.
