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

rip-1	IIR. Linked to un-15 (1%); right of fl and trp-3 (6 to 9%). (PB). Conditional defect in production of 60S ribosomal subunits (622). At the restrictive temperature (37 C), RNA synthesis is affected first and then protein synthesis; 60S cytosolic ribosomal subunits are underaccumulated, and relatively little 25S rRNA is produced (618, 620, 622; P.J. Russell, personal communication). Defective ribosome biosynthesis at high temperatures is attributed to a defect in rRNA processing (622). Attains 2.4% of the wild-type growth rate at 35°C and 80% at 25°C (P.J. Russell, personal communication). Scored as an irreparable heat-sensitive un mutant (see un). Good fertility, growth, and viability make rip-1preferable to un-15 as a marker for the right end of II. The onginal strain carrying both rip-1 and inl (89601) (382, PB). was called 4M(t). The rip-1 allele in this strain was originally called 1(t).	IIR	B
arg-5	Uses ornithine, citrulline or arginine.	IIR	B
am1			B
ad-3B	IR. Between ad-3A (0.1 to 0.7%) and nic-2 (3%) (271). (482) Uses adenine or hypoxanthine (682). Blocked in interconversion of AIR to CAIR (348) (Fig. 8). Produces purple pigment, permitting direct visual selection (276, 682). Pigment is secreted with low concentrations of adenine (e.g., 0.1 mM), not with high concentrations (2 mM) (276, 682, 785). Pigment production used to assess effect of histidine and tryptophan on purine nucleotide synthesis (786). Reduced interallelic fertility (264, 407). Complementation maps (268, 274). Relation of mutagens to complementation patterns (269). Mutants with non-polarized complementation patterns on the right side of the complementation map grow on minimal medium if supplied with CO2; other mutants do not respond to CO2, (270). Used extensively for mutagenesis (see ad-3A). Rearrangement T(I- >III)Y112M4i ad-3B, which has a breakpoint inseparable from ad-3B, was the first insertional translocation to be reported for fungi (266). Allele 7-017-0137 shows "fixed instability," mutating to an unstable prototrophic allele (41). Alleles 2-17-126, 12-21-28, and numerous others are supersuppressible (408, 749, 955). Called complementation group B.	IR	B
ro-7	IIL. Linked to pi (0/75). Left of cys-3 (11%) (382, PB)Resembles ro-1 (382). Growth limited on glycerol medium (212). Female sterile, contrary to misprint in reference 811.	IIL	B
