The meiotic behavior of two graded series of deletion mutations in the ADE8 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was analyzed to investigate the molecular basis of meiotic recombination. Postmeiotic segregation (PMS) was observed for a subset of the deletion heterozygosities, including deletions of 38 to 93 base pairs. There was no clear relationship between deletion length and PMS frequency. A common sequence characterized the novel joint region in the alleles which displayed PMS. This sequence is related to repeated sequences recently identified in association with recombination hotspots in the human and mouse genomes. We propose that these particular deletion heterozygosities escape heteroduplex DNA repair because of fortuitous homology to a binding site for a protein.
为了研究减数分裂重组的分子基础,对酿酒酵母中ADE8基因的两个分级系列缺失突变的减数分裂行为进行了分析。在一部分缺失杂合子中观察到了减数分裂后分离(PMS),包括38至93个碱基对的缺失。缺失长度与PMS频率之间没有明确的关系。在显示PMS的等位基因的新连接区域有一个共同序列。该序列与最近在人类和小鼠基因组中与重组热点相关联而鉴定出的重复序列有关。我们提出,这些特定的缺失杂合子由于与一种蛋白质的结合位点偶然同源而逃避了异源双链DNA修复。
