We have reinvestigated the linkage orientation of repeating units in mtDNAs of yeast p-petite mutants containing an inverted duplication. All five petite mtDNAs studied contain a continuous segment of wild-type mONA, part of which is duplicated and present in inverted form in the repeat. We show by
The nucleotide sequence of the repeat unit of the mitochondrial genome of a spontaneous petite mutant of S. cerevisiae is reported. The sequence provides direct information on the AT-spacers and GC-clusters of the mitochondrial genome of yeast.
Sequence analysis was used to define the repeat unit that constitutes the mitochondrial genome of a petite (rho-) mutant of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This mutant has retained and amplified in tandem a 2,547 bp segment encompassing the second exon of the oxi3 gene excised from wild-type mtD
