  • Title: Respiratory-competent yeast mitochondrial DNAs generated by deleting intergenic regions.
    Author: Piskur J.
    Journal: Gene; 1989 Sep 01; 81(1):165-8. PubMed ID: 2553538.
    Abstract:
    Two respiratory-competent yeast strains having mitochondrial (mt) DNA characterized by single non-overlapping deletions, encompassing intergenic sequences, have been crossed. Diploid daughter clones have been screened by electrophoresis of mtDNA fragments, and a respiratory-competent clone (ER8.75), having a recombinant small mtDNA with both parental deletions, has been detected. ER8.75 mtDNA lacks around 20% of wild-type intergenic sequences, encompassing three ori/rep sequences. This mutant could be helpful in analyzing the organelle genome and, particularly, the function of intergenic sequences.
