Abstract:
:The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has never been found to give rise to viable cells totally lacking mitochondrial DNA (rho(o)). This paper describes the isolation of rho(o) strains of S. pombe by very long term incubation of cells in liquid medium containing glucose, potassium acetate and ethidium bromide. Once isolated, the rho(o) strains did not require potassium acetate or any other novel growth factors. These nonrespiring strains contained no mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) detectable either by gel-blot hybridization using as probe a clone containing the entire S. pombe mtDNA, or by 1',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining of whole cells. Induction of rho(o) derivatives of standard laboratory strains was not reproducible from culture to culture. The cause of this irreproducibility appears to be that growth of the rho(o) strains of S. pombe depended on nuclear mutations that occurred in some, but not all, of the initial cultures. Two independent rho(o) isolates contained mutations in unlinked genes, termed ptp1-1 and ptp2-1. These mutations allowed reproducible ethidium bromide induction of viable rho(o) strains. No other phenotypes were associated with ptp mutations in rho+ strains.
