News & Notes: Correlation of Resistance to the Alkaloid Lycorine with the Degree of Suppressiveness in Petite Mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
CURRENT MICROBIOLOGY(1997)
摘要
. In previous papers (Del Giudice et al. Curr Genet 8:493–497, 1984; Massardo et al. Curr Genet 17:455–457, 1985) we have shown that strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that are devoid of mitochondrial DNA ( rho o ) are resistant to the alkaloid lycorine isolated from Amaryllis plants, whereas strains containing mitochondrial DNA ( rho − , mit − , or rho + ) are sensitive to this drug. In addition, we were able to show that the so-called hypersuppressive petites, whose mitochondrial genomes consist of short regions of DNA containing an ori sequence, show intermediate resistance. In this paper, we demonstrate that the degree of suppressiveness of a rho − mutant correlates with the degree of resistance to lycorine.
