✦ Synopsis

A strain of fission yeast carrying replicating instability (RI) will segregate mitotically three types of cells: unstable (still RI-carrying) cells, stable identical mutants and stable non-mutants. RI in fission yeast has previously been considered as a specific type of premutational lesion capable of (1) being replicated as such and (2) reverting at an appreciable rate to the normal state as well as changing into a stable mutation. In the present work genetic analysis of a previously studied RI-carrying strain showed this strain to be a diploid, most probably heterozygous for a recessive mutation. It was possible to construct other unstable heterozygous strains segregating predetermined mutants but not to induce RI by UV-irradiation of haploid cells. Thus evidence is presented against the premutational nature of RI in fission yeast.

Certain genetic instabilities of the "mating type locus" in the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe are interpreted in terms of transposition: Homothallic strains are characterized by two adjacent mating type genes (mat1-mat2+) with sexually complementary functions. One of these genes (mat2+) is able to

The segregation of the nucleolus during mitosis was examined in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe by indirect immunofluorescence using antibodies directed to highly conserved anti-nucleolus antigens. In mitotic S. pombe cells, the nucleolus appears to trail the bulk of the DNA.
