We have performed an F2 genetic screen to identify lethal mutations within the 63E-64A genomic region. We have isolated 122 mutations in 20 different complementation groups. Of these groups, 16 are represented by multiple alleles. We have also established that the Rop and Ras2 genes are located within the 63E-64A genomic domain at 64A10,11. We have sequenced 10.2 kb of DNA surrounding this gene pair and find that in addition to Rop and Ras2 there is another gene located within this DNA sequence. The gene product, which we have named Rfc40, shows 68% identity to the 40-kDa subunit of replication factor C. We find that the members of one complementation group (13 alleles) derived from our screen correspond to mutations in the Rop gene, whereas the members of another (five alleles) correspond to mutations in the Rfc40 gene. In addition we have isolated 11 new mutant alleles of the disembodied gene.
我们进行了一次F2遗传筛选,以鉴定63E - 64A基因组区域内的致死突变。我们在20个不同的互补群中分离出了122个突变。在这些互补群中,16个由多个等位基因代表。我们还确定Rop和Ras2基因位于64A10、11处的63E - 64A基因组区域内。我们对这一对基因周围10.2 kb的DNA进行了测序,发现除了Rop和Ras2之外,该DNA序列中还存在另一个基因。我们将该基因产物命名为Rfc40,它与复制因子C的40 kDa亚基有68%的同源性。我们发现,从我们的筛选中得到的一个互补群(13个等位基因)的成员对应于Rop基因中的突变,而另一个互补群(5个等位基因)的成员对应于Rfc40基因中的突变。此外,我们还分离出了11个新的“无形”基因的突变等位基因。
