β¦ Synopsis
In the petite positive yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cycloheximide selectively inhibits protein synthesis on cytoplasmic ribosomes, and, as a consequence, nuclear DNA synthesis. Mitochondrial DNA, however, is synthesized for d~6 h after cessation of protein synthesis. In this paper we show that in contrast to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, synthesis of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA is tightly coordinated in the petite negative yeast Schizosaccharomycespornbe, since inhibition of cytoplasmic protein synthesis leads immediately to cessation of both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA synthesis.

A population of small covalently closed non-mitochondrial circular DNA molecules was isolated from the petite-negative yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The mean length of these molecules, possessing the same density as nuclear DNA (1.695 g/cm3) is 1.95 +/- 0.18 micrometer. The presence of these mini
Size and shape of mitochondrial DNA molecules of Schizosaccharomyces pombe were analyzed by electron microscopy. Besides numerous linear molecules, circular molecules ranging from 0.83 micron to 12.81 micron were found. Depending on the method of preparation, both closed and open circular molecules
