Behavior of the [mi-3] mutation and conversion of polymorphic mtDNA markers in heterokaryons of Neurospora crassa.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1990

Hawse A, Collins R A, Nargang F E

Abstract excerpt

We have examined the behavior of the [mi-3] mitochondrial mutation and two physical mtDNA markers in heterokaryotic cultures of Neurospora crassa. Previous workers showed that a 1.2-kilobase insertion in the larger polymorphic form of EcoRI-5 restriction fragment is a site of high frequency and rapid unidirectional gene conversion. We have confirmed this observation and determined by DNA sequence analysis that...
