RESUMO

The ADR6 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has an open reading frame which could encode a polypeptide of 1314 amino acids. The predicted mRNA encodes a protein with homopolymeric stretches of asparagine and threonine, particularly near its amino terminus and contains additional sequences consisting of polyglutamine repeats. The predicted protein also contains a potential metal binding (Cys)4-type finger near its carboxy-terminus. An ADR6/beta-galactosidase fusion protein was predominantly nuclear in location, consistent with its role as an activator of ADH2 transcription.
