✦ Synopsis

We have isolated about five hundred temperature-sensitive mutants specific for the mitochondrial functions. Their growth on glycerol is defective at 36 degrees C and/or 20 degrees C. While most of the mutations were nuclearly inherited, about thirty were found to be of mitochondrial origin. 1) Four mitochondrial mutations (three cryosensitive, one thermosensitive) were localized close to chloramphenicol and erythromycin resistance loci of the mitochondrial DNA, that is in the region coding for the 23 S ribosomal RNA. One of the mutation interfered with the expression of the chloramphenicol resistance gene. 2) A dozen nuclear mutations were isolated from a strain which is labelled with mitochondrial drug resistance markers (chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and paromomycin). Among the temperature sensitive respiratory deficient mutants, we have selected the mutations that supress the resistant phenotypes. We describe two non allelic such mutations, one being cryosensitive, the other thermosensitive. Both supress the expression of the mitochondrial chloramphenicol resistance gene. The temperature sensitive growth on glycerol and the modified antibiotic phenotype segregated together as a single recessive mutation. A biochemical study of these mutants is presented in a joint paper, confirming their presumed ribosomal nature.

1. Several nuclear mutants have been isolated which showed thermo- or cryo-sensitive growth on non-fermentable media. Although the original strain carried mitochondrial drug resistance mutations (CR, ER, OR and PR), the resistance to one or several drugs was suppressed in these mutants. Two of them

We describe a mitochondrial suppressor mutation, which restores respiratory competence to the nuclear pet--mutant MK2. This mutant lacks the message of the mitochondrial cob-gene and instead accumulates a partially spliced pre-mRNA which ,is not translated. Complete processing and translation of the

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
