We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a segment of chromosome VII of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae contained in the cosmid clone pEGH101 for a total of 7 kbp. This sequence contains a large open reading frame (ORF) called G9365, coding for a protein of 1967 amino acids that shows a significant homology with the product of the SKI2 gene of S. cerevisiae and contains domains characteristic of RNA‐helicases. The ORF is transcribed in vegetative cells but it is not essential for viability as demonstrated by gene disruption. The sequence has been deposited in the GenBank data library under Accession Number U35242. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
