Summary
Previous tetrad analyses defined a yeast strain (332-7c) as containing a single nuclear gene (11.8 map units from the centromere) conferring resistance to oligomycin. Resistance to 18 additional inhibitors of mitochondrial function (Table 1) was determined on (i) ascospore isolates from tetrads segregating 2 resistant: 2 sensitive for oligomycin (Table 2) and (ii), spontaneously derived sensitive isolates of the oligomycin resistant strain (Tables 3 and 4). The observed pattern of resistance suggests that the gene for resistance to oligomycin also results in (i) cross resistance to rutamycin, venturicidin, triethyltin bromide, antimycin A, carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, tetra-N-butylammonium bromide, dibenzyl-dimethylammonium chlorop and tetracycline and (ii), collateral sensitivity to paromomycin, neomycin, dequalinium chloride, ethidium bromide and acriflavin.
