Abstract To study the function of RAP1 , an essential gene involved in the regulation of transcriptional activation, silencing and the telomere function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae , we isolated a Candida glabrata gene that complements the growth defect of a S. cerevisiae rap1 conditional mutant. The DNA sequence of the cloned gene, which we designated CgRAP1 , predicted a 2064 bp open reading frame encoding a 687 amino acid protein with an overall identity of 65% and a similarity of 78% to Rap1p from S. cerevisiae . Its DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank Accession No. is AB055655. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
