A human HSMT3 cDNA encoding a homolog of the yeast SMT3, a suppressor of MIF2 mutations in a centromere protein gene, was identified and sequenced. The sequence of 95 amino acids deduced from the human HSMT3 cDNA exhibited 51.1% identity and 69.6% similarity to the yeast Smt3p sequence. The HSMT3 transcripts of 1.35Kb were found to be abundantly expressed in various human tissues.
