Abstract

An Arabidopsis thaliana genomic DNA fragment of 14kb has been characterized in the framework of the E.S.S.A. programme. Computational and molecular approaches identified three novel gene sequences coding, respectively, for a protein of unknown function, a putative membrane-anchored cell wall protein and an arabinose kinase gene corresponding to the locus ARA1. The latter two genes named AtSEB1 and AtISA1 have been characterized in detail. They are very different in their organization, codon usage and level of expression. Homologues of AtSEB1 and AtISA1 have been identified. Sequence comparisons showed that the former genes contained a long 5' extension coding for an N-terminal domain probably specifying subcellular localization. Cloning and sequencing of the cognate cDNA for the AtISA1 homologue in A. thaliana, named GAL1, indicate that it encodes for a galactokinase-like protein. Our results highlight the integrative outcome of a systematic sequencing project in which links between biochemically and genetically characterized mutants, ESTs and genomic sequence data are generated.
