Abstract


DNA sequence analysis of a cloned fragment directly established that the cyc1-11 mutation of iso-1-cytochrome c in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a two-base-pair substitution that changes the CCA proline codon at amino acid position 76 to a UAA nonsense codon. Analysis of 11 revertant proteins and one cloned revertant gene showed that reversion of the cyc1-11 mutation can occur in three ways: a single base-pair substitution, which produces a serine replacement at position 76; recombination with the nonallelic CYC7 gene of iso-2-cytochrome c, which causes replacement of a segment in the cyc1-11 gene by the corresponding segment of the CYC7 gene; and either a two-base-pair substitution or recombination with the CYC7 gene, which causes the formation of the normal iso-1-cytochrome c sequence. These results demonstrate the occurrence of low frequencies of recombination between nonallelic genes having extensive but not complete homology. The formation of composite genes that share sequences from nonallelic genes may be an evolutionary mechanism for producing protein diversities and for maintaining identical sequences at different loci.
