The mitochondrial DNA and the phenotypes of strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with specific intervening sequences in 2 mosaic genes, cob (the gene for apocytochrome b) and oxi3 (the gene for subunit I of cytochrome oxidase), were studied. The results suggest the following conclusions. The presence of an intervening sequence downstream encompassing the intron box7 is sufficient for the regulation of oxi3 by cob (BOX phenotype); 2 sequences (containing intron loci box3 and box10) upstream in cob and 2 in oxi3 are dispensable. Strains without the 2 sequences upstream still contain the dowstream sequence and the competence to specify a functional trans-acting element. Mutational lesions in this segment are phenotypically indistinguishable from box7 mutants, including the accumulation of polypeptides with homologous amino acid sequences. A catabolite-sensitive BOX phenotype, characteristic of mutants in the 1st exon, requires the simultaneous presence of an adjacent intervening sequence. A model is presented in which a hypothetical product specified by an intron (locus box7) of the cob gene controls the expression of a 2nd mosaic gene (oxi3).
