Interactions between the yeast mitochondrial and nuclear genomes: isogenic suppressive and hypersuppressive petites differ in their resistance to the…
1990
In a previous paper we have shown that the alkaloid lycorine inhibits growth of rho+, mit- and rho-, strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, whereas strains devoid of mitochondrial DNA (rho degrees) are resistant to more than 200 micrograms/ml of the alkaloid. In this report we show that hypersuppressive petites are almost as resistant as rho degrees mutants, whereas isogenic rho- petites, which have retained longer segments of the genome, are sensitive to the drug.
The Mu1 transposable element of maize contains two promoter signals recognized by the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase.
1990
The galactokinase (GalK) expression plasmid vector system pKO-1 has been used to screen for promoter elements in the maize transposable element Mu1 that function in Escherichia coli. Two transcriptional start points, named S1 and S2, were identified, which are located in the two direct repeats of the transposable element. This paper demonstrates that sequence elements exist in a plant transposable element which function as prokaryotic promotors.
