Extrachromosomal inheritance in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. VII. Studies by zygote clone analysis on transmission, segregation, recombination, and uniparental inheritance of mitochondrial markers conferring resistance to antimycin, chloramphenicol, and erythromycin. 1978

G Seitz-Mayr, and K Wolf, and F Kaudewitz

Crosses involving mitochondrial markers conferring resistance to antimycin (anar, AR), chloramphenicol (capr, CR), and erythromycin (eryr, ER) in cis- and trans-configuration were studied by zygote clone analysis. Mutant anar-8, from which all other drug--resistant isolates were derived, exhibits a highly biased transmission (6.8% anar) in an analysis of 100 individual zygote clones. Important results of zygote clone analyses were:--Zygote clones may contain one, two, three, or four mitochondrial genotypes.--The proportion of the two parental and the two recombinant genotypes in individual zygote clones can vary almost over the entire range of percentages.--Proportions of the two corresponding recombinant types in individual clones are usually unequal.--Transmission rates of markers are higher in trans- than in cis-crosses, indicating additivity of bias by two mutated alleles in coupling.--Transmission rates are different for the three markers both in cis- and trans-crosses, being lowest for CR and highest for ER.--Up to more than 80% uniform clones, expressing only one genotype, can be produced in cis- and trans-crosses. In cis-crosses always the double-sensitive parental type becomes uniform, in trans-crosses this may be the case for parental and/or recombinant genotypes. A tentative map is presented using data from cis- and trans-crosses, including a correction by omission of uniform clones. Phenomena of transmission, segregation, and formation of uniform clones are discussed with special regard to the difference brought about by fission versus budding. A comparison with relevant data from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other organisms is presented.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011995 Recombination, Genetic Production of new arrangements of DNA by various mechanisms such as assortment and segregation, CROSSING OVER; GENE CONVERSION; GENETIC TRANSFORMATION; GENETIC CONJUGATION; GENETIC TRANSDUCTION; or mixed infection of viruses. Genetic Recombination,Recombination,Genetic Recombinations,Recombinations,Recombinations, Genetic
D002701 Chloramphenicol An antibiotic first isolated from cultures of Streptomyces venequelae in 1947 but now produced synthetically. It has a relatively simple structure and was the first broad-spectrum antibiotic to be discovered. It acts by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis and is mainly bacteriostatic.

D003433 Crosses, Genetic Deliberate breeding of two different individuals that results in offspring that carry part of the genetic material of each parent. The parent organisms must be genetically compatible and may be from different varieties or closely related species. Cross, Genetic,Genetic Cross,Genetic Crosses
D004272 DNA, Mitochondrial Double-stranded DNA of MITOCHONDRIA. In eukaryotes, the mitochondrial GENOME is circular and codes for ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, and about 10 proteins. Mitochondrial DNA,mtDNA
D004352 Drug Resistance, Microbial The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS). Antibiotic Resistance,Antibiotic Resistance, Microbial,Antimicrobial Resistance, Drug,Antimicrobial Drug Resistance,Antimicrobial Drug Resistances,Antimicrobial Resistances, Drug,Drug Antimicrobial Resistance,Drug Antimicrobial Resistances,Drug Resistances, Microbial,Resistance, Antibiotic,Resistance, Drug Antimicrobial,Resistances, Drug Antimicrobial
D004917 Erythromycin A bacteriostatic antibiotic macrolide produced by Streptomyces erythreus. Erythromycin A is considered its major active component. In sensitive organisms, it inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunits. This binding process inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes with translocation of amino acids during translation and assembly of proteins.

D000968 Antimycin A An antibiotic substance produced by Streptomyces species. It inhibits mitochondrial respiration and may deplete cellular levels of ATP. Antimycin A1 has been used as a fungicide, insecticide, and miticide. (From Merck Index, 12th ed) Butanoic acid, 2(or 3)-methyl-, 3-((3-(formylamino)-2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino)-8-hexyl-2,6-dimethyl-4,9-dioxo-1,5-dioxonan-7-yl ester,Antimycin A1
