Interchromosomal gene conversion at an endogenous human cell locus.
To examine the relationship between gene conversion and reciprocal exchange at an endogenous chromosomal locus, we developed a reversion assay in a thymidine kinase deficient mutant, TX545, derived from the human lymphoblastoid cell line TK6. Selectable revertants of TX545 can be generated through interchromosomal gene conversion at the site of inactivating mutations on each tk allele or by rec...
متن کاملMechanisms of gene conversion in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
In red-white sectored colonies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, derived from mitotic cells grown to stationary phase and irradiated with a light dose of x-rays, all of the segregational products of gene conversion and crossing over can be ascertained. Approximately 80% of convertants are induced in G1, the remaining 20% in G2. Crossing over, in the amount of 20%, is found among G1 convertants but m...
متن کاملThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae recombination enhancer biases recombination during interchromosomal mating-type switching but not in interchromosomal homologous recombination.
Haploid Saccharomyces can change mating type through HO-endonuclease cleavage of an expressor locus, MAT, followed by gene conversion using one of two repository loci, HML or HMR, as donor. The mating type of a cell dictates which repository locus is used as donor, with a cells using HML and alpha cells using HMR. This preference is established in part by RE, a locus on the left arm of chromoso...
متن کاملEnhanced Gene Conversion and Postmeiotic Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
Previous study has demonstrated that incubation of yeast cells of strain AP1 in sporulation medium at 36" permits them to begin meiosis but that they become arrested at pachytene and undergo enhanced intragenic recombination between ade2 heteroalleles. Tetrad analysis was undertaken to characterize the altered program of meiotic recombination more widely. In one set of experiments, pachytene-ar...
متن کاملInterchromosomal biased gene conversion, mutation and selection in a multigene family.
A mathematical model of the effects of interchromosomal biased gene conversion, mutation and natural selection on a multigene family is developed and analyzed. The model assumes two allelic states at each of n loci. The effects of genetic drift are ignored. The model is developed under the assumption of no recombination, but the analysis shows that, at equilibrium, there is no linkage disequili...
