| 2003-09-22 | Based on the automated comparison of closely related Saccharomyces species, Kellis et al. suggest that the start site for MRPL49/YJL096W be moved 189 nt (63 codons) downstream. This suggestion was reviewed and accepted by SGD curators. The numbering for both the nucleotides in the DNA coding sequence and the amino acids in the predicted protein have been changed accordingly. Evidence supporting this change includes: 1) This is the predicted start methionine in the majority of Saccharomyces species orthologs analyzed by Kellis et al. and/or Cliften et al.; 2) Significant sequence conservation begins abruptly at this predicted start methionine; 3) Graack et al (1998) identify MRPL49/YJL096W as 16kDa protein, a size consistent with the proposed change.
