β¦ Synopsis
A physical map of the COB region in mtDNA of yeast has been established. This region harbours a split gene coding for apocytochrome b. It includes restriction sites of seven endonucleases (EcoRI, HindII, HindIII, HaeIII, HpaII, AluI and BamHI). Various mtDNA sequences of this region, retained in a series of genetically characterized rho(-) clones have been allocated to this map. The combination of this physical map with a genetic map of the rho(-) clones revealed that 1) cob(-) mutational sites spread over 8,400 bp, 2) mutations in sequences coding for apocytochrome b map in five distinct segments which are separated by intervening sequences with minimum lengths from 350 to 1,900 bp.

Fifty eight mitochondrial mutants (p + mit- mutants), all deficient in cytochrome oxidase activity and previously assigned to the genetic region oxi3 on the mitochondrial DNA, were mapped by the method of "petite deletion mapping". This procedure resulted in the identification of at least twenty one
The activity of a yeast mitochondrial endonuclease extracted from mutants (sas1) with increased sensitivity to petite-inducing treatments was compared to that from wild-type cells. The specificity of the endonuclease was altered in haploids carrying a single mutant nuclear gene that conferred increa
A polypeptide chain-terminating mutation (M5631) previously has been shown to be a +1T insertion in the yeast mitochondrial gene oxi1, coding for subunit II of the cytochrome c oxidase. A spontaneously arisen frameshift suppressor (mfs-1) that is mitochondrially inherited suppresses this mutation to
