Spontaneous and induced rho mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: patterns of loss of mitochondrial genetic markers.

RESUMO

The deletion which leads to spontaneous rho mutants occurs preferentially at a unique region covering genes oxi3, pho1/OII, and mit175. The frequency of loss of genetic markers in this region was significantly higher than in other regions as determined with a 15- marker system. When various mutagenic treatments were applied, this specific pattern of deletion was also observed, but it was dramatically amplified. This suggests that the basic mechanism of rho production is the same in yeast mitochondrial genomes in both spontaneous and induced mutants.
