Presentation Transcript


  1. The mitochondrial genome • Nucleoid, 75kb, 10 proteins, tRNA, rRNA, „optional“ introns • Relaxed codon usage • Variation in the code, trp, met, thr

  2. Mitochondrial genes • Mitochondrial function required to grow on non-fermentable carbon sources, lactate, glycerol, ethanol • Mutations in nuclear genes that affect mito function: PET+ -> pet- • Mutations in mitochondrial DNA • Wild-type, r+ • Large deletions, r- • Loss of mito genome, r° • Single site mutations, r+, mit- (normal translation) • Single site mutations, r+, syn- (deficient in translation) • Mito mutations give 4:0 segregation

  3. Segregation of mitochondrial genes

  4. Mitochondrial fusion and fission

  5. Non-mendelian determinants • 2 µm plasmid, mitochondrial genes, RNA viruses, • + prions, cytoplasmatic inheritance , , Sup35p [URE3], [ure3], Ure2p, deficiency in ureidosuccinate utilization

  6. Advantages of meiosis(sexual reproduction) • Chromosome mixing, 216=65’536 possibilities • Crossing over -> indefinite number of new combinations (45x2) • Gene conversion • Gene repair • Generation of new alleles • 2 different isolates of yeast differ every 100bp

  7. meiosis MATa x MATa -> MATa/MATa (2n) -> synthesis (4n) -> meiotic div. I -> meiotic div. II -> spores: MATa; MATa; MATa; MATa

  8. Classical genetics • Monofactorial cross, ie. A (wt) x a (mut) 2:2 pattern of segregation if 4:0 -> mito • Complementation / non-compl. (in Dipl.) • Nonallelic noncomplementation • Allelic noncomplementation • Supression

  9. Bifactorial cross, ie. AB x ab

  10. If A and B are linked • PD > NPD • The distance of the markers A B determines the number of PD:NPD:T • cM = (100/2)[(T+6NPD)/(PD+NPD+T)] • For map distances of up to 4 crossovers (45cM this is ok, >45cM Snow eq.) • The number of T is proportional to the map distance

  11. If A islinked to the centromere

  12. Centromerlinkage of A and B

  13. Recombination • General recombination = Homologous recombination • Order of events (I meiotic div): • 1) Double strand break • 2) Two chromatids from different chromosomes (maternal/paternal) cross over • 3) Base pairing and strand invasion • 4) Synthesis and gap repair • 5) Resolution of Holiday junction

  14. Resolution of Holiday junction

  15. Gene conversion

  16. Geneconversion
