Increased spontaneous mitotic segregation in MMS-sensitive mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

S Prakash et al. Genetics. 1977 Oct.

Abstract

Methyl methanesulfonate (MMS)-sensitive mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae belonging to four different complementation groups, when homozygous, increase the rate of spontaneous mitotic segregation to canavanine resistance from heterozygous sensitive (canr/+) diploids by 13-to 170-fold. The mms8-1 mutant is MMS and X-ray sensitive and increases the rate of spontaneous mitotic segregation 170-fold. The mms9-1 and mms13-1 mutants are sensitive to X rays and UV, respectively, in addition of MMS, and increase the rate of spontaneous mitotic segregation by 13-fold and 85-fold, respectively. The mutant mms21-1 is sensitive to MMS, X rays and UV and increases the rate of spontaneous mitotic segregation 23-fold.
