δ Sequences mediate DNA rearrangements in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
1Institut für Mikrobiologie, Universität Düsseldorf, D-4000, Düsseldorf, Germany.
Abstract:
A solo δ sequence flanking the 5' end of the ADHII structural gene, ADR2, can promote a number of DNA rearrangements some of which were investigated in detail. In a selective system haploid mutants were screened in which a solo S sequence flanking ADR2 had been joined to a Ty element. Three different types of events can create such a structure: Reintegration of a Ty sequence at the δ-ADR2 site, inversion of ADR2 and flanking material, and transposition of ADR2 along with 3' flanking material. The involvement of reciprocal or non-reciprocal exchange mechanisms in creating such events are discussed.

Chromosome Structure
The centromere is a DNA sequence that links sister chromatids. This is also where kinetochores, protein complexes to which spindle microtubules attach, are constructed after the chromosome is replicated. The kinetochores allow the spindle microtubules to move the chromosomes within the cell during cell division.
