Genetic Mapping in SCHIZOSACCHAROMYCES POMBE by Mitotic and Meiotic Analysis and Induced Haploidization.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The genetic maps of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe were extended through the use of haploidization (spontaneous or induced by m-fluorophenylalanine), as well as by tetrad, random spore and mitotic analysis. A new diploidization method utilizing a meiosis-deficient mutant and improved haploidization techniques was employed. As a result of these and previous studies, 118 genetic markers have been assigned to 3 linkage groups. Centromere markers for all 3 chromosomes were identified and genetic maps containing a total of 71 genes were constructed. Our experiments indicate that 3 is very likely to be the haploid chromosome number of S. pombe .

The msh2 gene of Schizosaccharomyces pombe is involved in mismatch repair, mating-type switching, and meiotic chromosome organization.
We have identified in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe a MutS homolog that shows highest homology to the Msh2 subgroup. msh2 disruption gives rise to increased mitotic mutation rates and increased levels of postmeiotic segregation of genetic markers. In bandshift assays performed with msh2Delta cell extracts, a general mismatch-binding activity is absent. By complementation assays, w...
متن کاملCrossing over is rarely associated with mitotic intragenic recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Chromosomal rearrangements can result from crossing over during ectopic homologous recombination between dispersed repetitive DNA. We have previously shown that meiotic ectopic recombination between artificially dispersed ade6 heteroalleles in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe frequently results in chromosomal rearrangements. The same recombination substrates have been studied in mito...
متن کاملA meiotic mutant of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe that produces mature asci containing two diploid spores.
A mutant of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe grew normally in the mitotic cycle but produced two-spored asci in the meiosis cycle. These spores were diploid, and the segregation of centromere-linked markers in the dyads was mostly reductional. Only the first meiotic division appears to occur in this tws1 mutant, resulting in enclosure of diploid nuclei into spores.
متن کاملThe rec8 gene of Schizosaccharomyces pombe is involved in linear element formation, chromosome pairing and sister-chromatid cohesion during meiosis.
The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe does not form tripartite synaptonemal complexes during meiotic prophase, but axial core-like structures (linear elements). To probe the relationship between meiotic recombination and the structure, pairing, and segregation of meiotic chromosomes, we genetically and cytologically characterized the rec8-110 mutant, which is partially deficient in meioti...
متن کاملSchizosaccharomyces pombe Rdh54 (TID1) acts with Rhp54 (RAD54) to repair meiotic double-strand breaks.
We report the characterization of rdh54+, the second fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rad54 homolog. rdh54+ shares sequence and functional homology to budding yeast RDH54/TID1. Rdh54p is present during meiosis with appropriate timing for a meiotic recombination factor. It interacts with Rhp51 and the meiotic Rhp51 homolog Dmc1 in yeast two-hybrid assays. Deletion of rdh54+ has no effect ...
