Abstract

Toxic recombination events are detected in vegetative Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells through negative growth interactions between certain combinations of mutations. For example, mutations affecting both the Srs2 and Sgs1 helicases result in extremely poor growth, a phenotype suppressed by mutations in genes that govern early stages of recombination. Here, we identify a similar interaction involving double mutations affecting Sgs1 or Top3 and Mus81 or Mms4. We also find that the primary DNA structures that initiate these toxic recombination events cannot be double-strand breaks and thus are likely to be single-stranded DNA. We interpret our results in the context of the idea that replication stalling leaves single-stranded DNA, which can then be processed by two competing mechanisms: recombination and nonrecombination gap-filling. Functions involved in preventing toxic recombination would either avoid replicative defects or act on recombination intermediates. Our results suggest that Srs2 channels recombination intermediates back into the gap-filling route, whereas Sgs1/Top3 and Mus81/Mms4 are involved in recombination and/or in replication to allow replication restart.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
