Among a group of 31 ts- yeast mutants screened electrophoretically for heat-sensitive synthesis of each stable RNA species, only mutant ts351 failed to accumulate 25S RNA at 36 degrees C. Pulse-labeling experiments at 36 degrees C showed that 35S and 27S precursors RNA and mature 18S r-RNA molecules

β¦ Synopsis
Methods by which the intracellular enzymes deoxyribonuclease, ribonuclease and protease can be assayed in whole colonies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on agar plates are described. A search for mutants deficient in deoxyribonuclease has been carried out. Two types of mutant are described. One apparently fails to produce deoxyribonuclease, ribonuclease or protease on agar plates and the other apparently fails to produce deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease.
