Frequency of conversions in Δsir1 cells. Δsir1, Δcac1 and wild-type cells harboring URA3 at the VIIL telomere and Δsir1, Δdot1 and wild-type cells harboring hmr-a1Δ::URA3 were selected on SC-ura and SC/FOA plates, grown in YPD medium for 20 generations, and analyzed as in Figure 4A. (A) Analysis of cells with URA3-tel. (B) Analysis of cells with hmr-a1Δ::URA3. (C) Best fit analysis of the conversion rates in Δsir1 hmr-a1Δ::URA3 cells. Cells were selected on SC/FOA (large gray squares) and SC-ura plates (large black squares) and transferred to YPD medium. Aliquots were taken out at known generation numbers and the percentage FOAR cells were measured and plotted. Best fit algorithm (small diamonds) produced values of CS→A = 5.66% and CA→S = 0.17%.
