Abstract excerpt
Ty1 retrotransposons in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are maintained in a state of transpositional dormancy. We isolated a mutation, rtt100-1, that increases the transposition of genomic Ty1 elements 18- to 56-fold but has little effect on the transposition of related Ty2 elements. rtt100-1 was shown to be a null allele of the FUS3 gene, which encodes a haploid-specific mitogen-activated protein kinase. In fus3...
