The minimal fragment of mitochondrial DNA from Papaver somniferum L. (poppy) able to promote autonomous plasmid replication in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was sequenced. Sequence analysis of the 917-bp MK4/8 DNA fragment revealed a high AT content, and the presence of two 12-bp sequences diff

✦ Synopsis
U. maydis chromosomal DNA sequences which promote the autonomous replication of plasmid YIp5 in S. cerevisiae YNN27 have been isolated and three of them characterised in some detail. Their properties are idential to yeast ars sequences in that plasmids containing them are maintained extrachromosomally as circular double-stranded DNA molecules, are mitotically unstable in yeast transformants and transform yeast at high frequencies. There is no sequence homology between the three U. maydis sequences and they are not reiterated in the U. maydis genome.

A Sau3AI digest of total DNA from Saccharomycopsis fibuligera was cloned with the yeast-integrating plasmid YEp24AEcoRl and the capacity for autonomous replication (ARS) was assayed in yeast. From eighty clones, five mitoticaly unstable yeast transformants were picked up, recombinant plasmids from t
