RESUMO
The K1 killer plasmid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a 1.5-megadalton linear double-stranded ribonucleic acid molecule. Using simplified screening and complementation procedures, we have isolated mutants in three chromosomal genes that are temperature sensitive for killer plasmid maintenance or replication. One of these genes, mak28-1, was located on chromosome X. Two of the temperature-sensitive mutants rapidly lost the wild-type killer plasmid of A364A during spore germination and outgrowth at nonpermissive temperatures, but during vegetative growth, they only lowered the plasmid copy number. These two mutants did not lose two other wild-type K1 killer plasmids, indicating a heterogeneity of the killer plasmids in laboratory yeast strains.
