  • Title: [Genetic control of recombination processes in Aspergillus nidulans. I. Effect of uvs-mutations on the frequency of spontaneous and ultraviolet ray-induced intergenic recombination].
    Author: Sukhanova ES, Kamenva SV.
    Journal: Genetika; 1977; 13(2):292-9. PubMed ID: 330315.
    Abstract:
    Effect of 3 uvs mutations (uvs 12, 19 and 25) on recombination processes in Aspergillus nidulans is studied. All the mutations are found either to affect the fertility of carp bodies and germination ability of askospores, or result in complete inability of heterokaryons to form cleistocarpia. Two mutations change the frequency of spontaneous meitotic crossing-over at pro-paba region of the chromosome I and do not affect the rate of mitotic recombination at w-centromeric region of the chromosome II: uvs 12 mutation increases, and uvs 19 mutation decreases the frequency of meiotic recombination. One mutation (uvs 25) decreases the rate of spontaneous mitotic crossing-over. All uvs mutations decrease the frequency of VU light induced mitotic recombination at w-centromeric region of the chromosome II. The data obtained, together with earlier reported characteristics of uvs mutants, suggest that recombination mechanisms in yeast participate in reparation processes more actively than in prokariotes. Different effects of the same uvs mutations on spontaneous frequency of meiotic and mitotic crossing-over draw to the conclusion that genetic control and molecular mechanisms of these processes in A. nidulans are not identical.
