Abstract excerpt
Many Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants defective in the SUMO pathway accumulate elevated levels of the native 2 microm circle plasmid (2 microm). Here we show that accumulation of 2 microm in the SUMO pathway mutants siz1Delta siz2Delta, slx5Delta, and slx8Delta is associated with formation of an aberrant high-molecular-weight (HMW) form of 2 microm. Characterization of this species from siz1Delta siz2Delta showed...
