TL;DR
The DNA sequence of the ARGRII gene is reported, one of the three regulatory genes involved in controlling the anabolism and catabolism of arginine in yeast, which encodes a protein of 880 amino acids with a deduced molecular mass of about 100 kDa.
Abstract
We report here the DNA sequence of the ARGRII gene, one of the three regulatory genes involved in controlling the anabolism and catabolism of arginine in yeast. This gene encodes a protein of 880 amino acids with a deduced molecular mass of about 100 kDa. The ARGRII protein shows significant homology with two other regulatory proteins of yeast, PPRI and GAL4.

Indirect immunofluorescence and subcellular fractionation studies with yeast cells containing the alpha 2-LacZ hybrid proteins indicate that thealpha 2 segment can direct localization of beta-galactosidase to the nucleus, and indicates that theAlpha 2 protein, argued on genetic grounds to be a negative regulator, acts in the yeast nucleus.
