Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of the STE7 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined. It is one of several regulatory genes implicated in the control of cell-type-specific gene expression in yeast. The predicted amino acid sequence shows homology to several members of the protein kinase family. These results suggest protein phosphorylation may play a key role in regulation leading to cell-type specialization in yeast.
