Yeast single copy gene URP1 is a homolog of rat ribosomal protein gene L21.

This communication reports on a single-copy gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which is homologous to the rat ribosomal protein gene L21. The yeast and the rat genes show 59% identity in DNA sequences and in the predicted protein sequences. This yeast gene is, therefore, assumed to code for an as yet unassigned ribosomal protein (URP1). The URP1 open reading frame is 480 nucleotides long and can encode a protein of about M(r) 18,200. Like most of the other known ribosomal protein genes, URP1 is interrupted by an intron in its 5' terminal part and it is preceded by upstream sequence elements which usually regulate transcription of these genes. Northern blot analysis reveals that the URP1 gene is actually expressed in vivo.[1]
