TABLE 4.

Telomere clustering, but not horsetail movement, limits ectopic recombination

Recombinant frequency (× 105)
Locia ΔDTb wt dhc1Δ bqt2Δ
ade6 (allelic) 0 530 ± 55 140 ± 8 120 ± 15
ade6 × ChS28 ∼1.34 Mb 2.2 ± 0.5 2.4 ± 0.4 40 ± 6.2
ade6 × zzz7 ∼0.85 Mb 8.9 ± 0.8 13 ± 1.5 32 ± 3.3
ade6-Dup (SCE) ∼5 kb 1250 ± 160 1230 ± 120 1910 ± 160

Recombinant frequencies are the mean ± SEM for at least four experiments. wt, wild type.

a

The ade6-M26 and ade6-M210 alleles were used in the ade6 (allelic) and ade6 × ChS28 experiments. The ade6-M26 and ade6-469 alleles were used in the ade6 × zzz7 and ade6-Dup (SCE) experiments. The M210 and 469 alleles are 3 bp apart (Szankasi et al. 1988; G. Freyer, personal communication).

b

ΔDT is the difference between the distances of each locus from its nearest telomere (Figure 1B).
