A natural variant of the essential host geneMMS21restricts the parasitic 2-micron plasmid inSaccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract: Ongoing antagonistic coevolution with selfish genetic elements (SGEs) can drive the evolution of host genomes. Here, we investigated whether natural variation allows some Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains to suppress their endogenous SGEs, 2-micron plasmids. 2-micron plasmids are multicopy nuclear parasites that have co-evolved with budding yeasts. To quantitatively measure plasmid stability, we developed a new Single-Cell Assay for Measuring Plasmid Retention (SCAMPR) that measures copy number heterogeneity an… Show more
