[Mutagenesis in cloned yeast genes. The effect of mutation rad2 on the frequency of gene mutation in plasmid and chromosome].
The influence of rad2 mutation blocking incision of pyrimidine dimers on frequency of UV-light and 6-hydroxylaminopurine (6-GAP)-induced adenine-independent revertants was studied in the strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing the same mutant allele of gene ADE2 in episomic plasmid and in chromosome. It was shown that the strains carrying the ade2 mutation in chromosome and in plasmid did not differ in sensitivity to lethal action of UV-light and 6-GAP. However, in the plasmid rad2 strain reversions were induced by UV-light more frequently (approximately 100 times), as compared to the chromosome strain. We observed no significant differences between reversion frequencies in plasmid and chromosome RAD strains. The tendency to enhanced 6-GAP-induced mutagenesis, less sharply expressed, was observed in the chromosome rad2 strain, as compared to the plasmid one. However, the plasmid RAD strain was characteristic of higher reversion frequency induced by 6-GAP, as compared to the chromosome strain. The possible mechanisms of these phenomena are discussed.
