Three allelic nuclear mutants affected in the recombination of mtDNA characterized in S. cerevisiae and assigned to the PIF locus. In the mutants, the general recombination measured by the recombination frequency between linked or unlinked alleles is normal. However, the pif mutations prevent the integration into the .rho.+ genome of the markers (oli1, oli2, diu1, ery, oxi1, oxi2) of those .rho.- genomes that have tandemly arrayed repeat units. Therefore, these .rho.- genomes characterize a PIF-dependent recombination system. The pif mutations also revealed the existence of a PIF-independent recombination system used by those .rho.- genomes that have an inverted organization of their repeat units. The markers of such palindromic .rho.- genomes exhibit high integration frequency into the .rho.+ genome even in the presence of the pif mutation. In addition, the pif mutations greatly increase suppressiveness in crosses between pif .rho.+ strains and PIF-dependent as well as PIF-independent .rho.- clones. The recombination between .rho.+ and .rho.- genomes involves at least 2 distinct systems that depend on the organization of the .rho.- genome.
