Cytoplasmic petite induction in recombination-deficient mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Journal Article · · J. Bacteriol., v. 115, no. 3, pp. 805-809
OSTI ID:4422006
As compared to the original wild type, the induction of the cytoplasmic petite'' mutation by ultraviolet light and by the intercalating dye, ethidium bromide, is reduced in two mutants (rec4 and rec5) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These mutants are blocked in x-ray or ultraviolet light-induced intragenic recondbination. It then appears that the products of nuclear genes necessary for the completion of nuclear intragenic recombination events are also involved in steps of the metabolic chain that lead to the mitochondrial mutation p-.
