Several isogenic strains with defects in recombination/repair genes (RAD1, RAD50, RAD51, RAD52, RAD54,andRAD55) were examined for their ability to propagate accurately a variety of linear and circular yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) containing human DNA inserts. To assess YAC stability, the human DNA inserts were internally marked by anADE2-pBR-URA3cassette. Following selection for Ura−clones on 5-fluoroorotic acid containing medium, the following types of YAC deletions were identified: (i) those caused by homologous recombination with a telomericpBRsequence; (ii) internal deletions, presumed to occur by recombination between commonly occurring DNA repeats such asAluandLINEsequences; and (iii) deletions leading to loss of part of a YAC arm.rad52host strains, but not other recombination-deficient strains, decreased the rate of all types of YAC deletions 25- to 400-fold. We have also developed and testedkar1strains with a conditionalRAD52gene that allow transfer of a YAC from any host into a recombination-deficient background. These strains provide an efficient tool for stabilization of YACs and are useful for allowing additional recombinational modification of YACs.
