title: [Genetic analysis of mitochondrial rho-mutability in Saccharomyces yeasts. VI. Quantitative characteristics of the effect of mutation srm5 on the mitochondrial stability of natural and recombinant genetic structures].
abstract: The srm5 mutation diminishes the spontaneous rho- mutation rate by an order of magnitude. Frequency of rho- mutations is 500 times lower in homozygous cultures, as compared with those of normal SRM+/SRM+ diploids. The rate of spontaneous loss of extra chromosome IV is about 25 times higher in srm5 disomes, as compared with SRM+ ones. Haploid srm1 srm5 transformants loose recombinant circular minichromosomes spontaneously about 4 times more frequently than srm1SRM5 cells. The data presented suggest that general control of mitotic stability of different (mitochondrial and nuclear, nuclear as well as recombinant) genetic structures operates in Sacch. cerevisiae. Autonomously replicating sequences (ARS elements) seem to be involved in this mechanism.
