A new gene involved in error-prone repair of ultraviolet (UV) damage has been identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the mms3-1 mutation. UV-induced reversion is reduced in diploids that are homozygous for mms3-1, only if they are also heterozygous (MATa/MAT alpha) at the mating type locus. The mms3-1 mutation has no effect on UV-induced reversion either in haploids or MATa/MATa or MAT alpha/MAT alpha diploids. The mutation confers sensitivity to UV and methyl methane sulfonate in both haploids and diploids. Even though mutation induction by UV is restored to wild-type levels in MATa/MATa mms3-1/mms3-1 or MAT alpha/MAT alpha mms3-1/mms3-1 diploids, such strains still retain sensitivity to the lethal effects of UV. Survival after UV irradiation in mms3-1 rad double mutant combinations indicates that mms3-1 is epistatic to rad6-1 whereas non-epistatic interactions are observed with rad3 and rad52 mutants. When present in the homozygous state in MATa/MAT alpha his1-1/his1-315 heteroallelic diploids, mms3-1 was found to lower UV-induced mitotic recombination.
通过mms3 - 1突变,在酿酒酵母中鉴定出一个参与紫外线(UV)损伤易错修复的新基因。只有当mms3 - 1纯合的二倍体在交配型位点也是杂合的(MATa/MATα)时,UV诱导的回复突变才会减少。mms3 - 1突变对单倍体或MATa/MATa或MATα/MATα二倍体中的UV诱导回复突变没有影响。该突变使单倍体和二倍体对UV和甲基磺酸甲酯敏感。尽管在MATa/MATa mms3 - 1/mms3 - 1或MATα/MATα mms3 - 1/mms3 - 1二倍体中,UV诱导的突变诱导恢复到了野生型水平,但这些菌株对UV的致死效应仍保持敏感。mms3 - 1 rad双突变组合经UV照射后的存活情况表明,mms3 - 1对rad6 - 1是上位性的,而与rad3和rad52突变体存在非上位性相互作用。当mms3 - 1以纯合状态存在于MATa/MATα his1 - 1/his1 - 315异等位基因二倍体中时,发现它会降低UV诱导的有丝分裂重组。
