Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
cyh-1	IR. Right of nit-1 (6%). Left of T(STL76) and al-2 (8 to 13%) (496, 797, 808).Resistant to cycloheximide (496, 748). Resistance is recessive in duplications (1090). Dominance reported in forced heterokaryons (496, 748) may have been due to skewed nuclear ratios (1090). Protein synthesis on ribosomes of the mutant cyh-1 proceeds in the presence of cycloheximide in a cell-free system (834). Readily scored on slants with 10 µg of cycloheximide per ml autoclaved in the medium. Excellent as a marker and valuable for selecting somatic recombinants or deletions in heterozygous duplications (748, 1091). Used to show that the cycloheximide-induced phase shift of the circadian clock involves protein synthesis (738). Called act-1: actidione resistant-1.	IR	B
leu-3	IL. Right of the In(OY323) left breakpoint and nit-2 (12 to 18%). Left of cyt-1 (5 to 8%) and T(OY321) (57, 816, PB; D.D. Perkins, N.B. Raju, and E.G. Barry, in preparation). (868)Requires leucine (867, 868). Regulatory mutation; prevents synthesis of alpha-isopropylmalate isomerase and beta-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase and prevents full derepression of alpha-isopropylmalate synthetase; also involved in regulation of isoleucine and valine synthesis, q.v. (427, 771, 833) (Fig. 15). The original allele, 47313, is leaky, but some other alleles, e.g., R156, are not.	IL	B
nic-2	IR. Between ad-3B (4%) and ace-7 (4 to 7%) (271, 578). (482) Grows on nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, or high concentrations of quinolinic acid (97, 1168). Cannot use kynurenine, hydroxykynurenine, or hydroxyanthranilic acid (96, 1168). Accumulates 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid (96) (Fig. 18). Aging cultures accumulate red-brown pigment in the medium. Used to study intralocus recombination (908). Translocations T(4540) and T(S1325)are inseparable from nic-2 (808, 908, 911).	IR	B
un-5	IL. Right of fr (6%). Left of T(39311) and nit-2 (2%) (816, 798). (574). Unknown function. Heat sensitive, 34°C versus 23°C. Inhibited by histidine and tryptophan: osmophilic (26 to 28 C) (574, 575). Formerly called un(b39).	IL	B
