RESUMO

Phenotypic reversion of ethanolamine-requiring Saccharomyces cerevisiae cho 1 mutants is predominantly due to recessive mutations at genes unlinked to the chromosome V cho 1 locus. The recessive suppressors do not correct the primary cho 1 defect in phosphatidylserine synthesis but circumvent it with a novel endogenous supply of ethanolamine. One suppressor (eam1) was previously mapped to chromosome X, and 135 suppressor isolates were identified as eam1 alleles by complementation analysis. Additional meiotic recombination studies have identified a second genetic locus, eam2, that falls in the eam1 complementation group but maps close to the centromere of chromosome IV. Although the normal EAM1 and EAM2 alleles are fully dominant over recessive mutant alleles, their dominance fails in diploids heterozygous for defects in both genes simultaneously. The unusual complementation pattern could be explained by interaction of the gene products in formation of the same enzyme.
