Homocitrate synthase is located in the nucleus in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

ABSTRACT: We have generated monoclonal antibodies against nuclear proteins from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The monoclonal antibodies react with proteins of 47 and 49 kDa on immunoblots and with partially overlapping sets of proteins on two-dimensional nonequilibrium pH gradient electrophoresis-SDS blots. Immunofluorescence localization shows a nuclear staining pattern. Immunoscreening a yeast expression library yielded five independent full-length clones of two open reading frames from chromosome IV, corresponding to YDL182w (LYS20) and YDL131w in the Saccharomyces genome data base. These two open reading frames are predicted to encode homocitrate synthase isozymes of 47 and 49 kDa, respectively. A clone carrying YDL182w was sequenced in its entirety and directs the expression of a 47-kDa p
