Sequencing analysis of a 4·1 kb subtelomeric region from yeast chromosome IV identifies HXT15, a new member of the hexose transporter family

The DNA sequence of a 4·1 kb region of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome IV was determined. This region contains a single open reading frame which codes for a member of the hexose transporter family. This new gene has been named HXT15 according to yeast gene data bases. The sequence has been entered in the EMBL data library under Accession Number X92891.
