We have constructed a physical map of Kluyveromyces lactis mtDNA using the restriction enzymes HindII and HindIII. In contrast to Saccharomyces, the genes for the large and small ribosomal RNAs are much closer to each other, being separated by a maximal distance of 2,250 base pairs.
Due to the absence of repetition of the rRNA genes in S. cerevisiae mitochondria, isolation of ribosomal mutants at the level of the rRNA genes is relatively easy in this system. We describe here a novel thermosensitive mutation, ts1297, localized by rho- deletion mapping in (or very close to) the s
## Eukaryotic genes are divided into three categories according to the machineries by which they are transcribed. Ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) are the only ones that are transcribed by RNA polymerase Iand are under diflerent control from other genes transcribed by RNA polymerase 11 or III. None the le
