Abstract

Chromosome stability in suppressor mutants for SUP35 and SUP45 genes coding for translation release factors was studied. We obtained spontaneous and UV-induced sup35 or sup45 mutants in a haploid strain disomic for chromosome III and tested the stability of an extra copy of this chromosome. The majority of the mutants showed increased chromosome instability. This phenotype was correlated with an increased sensitivity to the microtubule-poisoning drug benomyl which affects chromosome segregation at anaphase. Our data suggest that termination-translation factors eRF3 and eRF1 control chromosome transmission at mitotic anaphase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
