Abstract


A new human gene has been identified on chromosome 16 in the interval containing the locus for polycystic kidney disease (PKD1) by analysis of a genomic cosmid clone and cDNAs. The gene contains at least one intron and is actively transcribed in tissues from kidney and brain. The putative gene product is predicted to be homologous to the yeast scERV1 protein by virtue of the high degree of identity (42%) over the entire length of the polypeptides. In former studies the yeast scERV1 gene was found to be essential for oxidative phosphorylation, the maintenance of mitochondrial genomes, and the cell-division cycle. In this study a yeast expression vector with a chimeric reading frame coding for the first 21 amino acids of the yeast protein and the terminal 100 amino acid residues of the human factor was transformed into yeast mutants with two different defects for scERV1. The chimeric human gene product was able to complement the yeast mutants and restored near normal viability. This identifies the human gene as a structural and functional homologue of the scERV1 gene.
