    Notes: Summary The genes SNQ and SFA confer hyperresistance to 4-NQO and FA when present on a multi-copy plasmid in yeast. Both are non-essential genes since transplacement of SNQ by a disrupted snq-0::LEU2 yielded stable and viable haploid integrants. Southern analysis revealed that SNQ and SFA are single-loci genes, and OFAGE analysis showed that they are located on chromosome XIII and IV, respectively. Northern blot analysis of SNQ and SFA revealed poly(A)+ RNA transcripts of 2 kb and 1.7 kb, respectively. Nuclease S 1 mapping showed SNQ to have a coding region of 1.6 kb and SFA, one of 1.3 kb. The 5′ coding regions were determined for both genes, while the 3′ end could only be determined for gene SNQ. Both genes do not appear to contain introns. The SFA locus was also mapped by transposon mutagenesis. Tn10-LUK integrants disrupted the SFA gene function at sites that were determined by subcloning to lie within the SFA transcription unit.

    Notes: Summary Three haploid yeast mutants (snm) sensitive or thermoconditionally sensitive to the DNA cross-linking agent nitrogen mustard (HN2) were crossed with four rad strains representing mutations in the three pathways of DNA dark repair. The resulting haploid double and triple mutant strains were tested for their sensitivity to UV, HN2 and HN1. From the observed epistatic or synergistic interactions of the combinations of mutant alleles we could derive the relation of the SNM1 and SNM2 genes to the postulated repair pathways. Alleles snm1-1 and snml-2 ts were found epistatic to genes of the rad3 group, whereas snm2-1 ts was epistatic to rad6. The snm1 and snm2 mutant alleles interacted synergistically. From these data it is concluded that the SNM1 gene product plays a cross-link specific role in excision repair while the SNM2 gene product may be involved in a system of error-prone repair.

    Notes: Summary Of two mutant genes (snm1-2 ts and snm2-1 ts) conferring thermoconditional mutagen sensitivity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae one (snm2-1 ts) is shown to be centromere-linked. At the restrictive temperature this allele reduces UV-induced back mutation frequency of the ochre allele hiss-2 but has no influence on forward mutation at the CAN1 locus. Complementation tests and recombination analysis revealed snm2 ts to be allelic with rad5 (rev2).

    Notes: Summary Selection of mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae sensitive to the DNA cross-linking agent nitrogen mustard (HN2) at two temperatures (23 °C and 36 °C) yielded two isolates with thermoconditionally enhanced (ts) sensitivity to the mutagen. Both were due to single recessive nuclear genes. Mutant allele snm1–2 ts showed mainly ts-sensitivity to HN2, whereas mutant allele snm2-1 ts conferred ts-sensitivity to HN2, half mustard (HN1) and UV. In temperature-shift experiments it was determined that the functions of SNM1 and SNM2 are needed for recovery within 6 to 7 h. after mutagen exposure during incubation at 23 °C on YEPD when HN2 and UV are applied. After HN1 treatment the SNM2 coded function is required for recovery for about 14 hrs. This possibly indicates a handling of UV- and HN2-induced lesions different from that of HN1-induced lesions.

    Notes: Summary We have isolated yeast gene SNM1 via complementation of sensitivity towards bi- and tri-functional alkylating agents in haploid and diploid yeast DNA repair-deficient snm1-1 mutants. Four independent clones of plasmid DNA containing the SNM1 locus were isolated after transformation with a YEp24-based yeast gene bank. Subcloned SNM1-containing DNA showed (i) complementation of the repair-deficiency phenotype caused by either one of the two different mutant alleles snm1-1 and snm1-2 ts; (ii) complementation in haploid and diploid yeast snm1-1 mutants by either single or multiple copies of the SNM1 locus; and (iii) that the SNM1 gene is at most 2.4 kb in size. Expression of SNM1 on the smallest subclone, however, was under the control of the GAL1 promotor. Gene size and direction of transcription was further verified by mutagenesis of SNM1 by Tn10-LUK transposon insertion. Five plasmids containing Tn10-LUK insertions at different sites of the SNM1-containing DNA were able to disrupt function of genomic SNM1 after gene transplacement. Correct integration of the disrupted SNM1::Tn10-LUK at the genomic site of SNM1 was verified via tetrad analysis of the sporulated diploid obtained after mating of the SNM1::Tn10-LUK transformant to a haploid strain containing the URA3 SNM1 wild-type alleles. The size of the poly(A)+ RNA transcript of the SNM1 gene is 1.1 kb as determined by Northern analysis.
