Intrachromosomal gene conversion has not shown a strong association with reciprocal exchanges. However, reciprocal exchanges do occur between intrachromosomal repeats. To understand the relationship between reciprocal exchange and gene conversion in repeated sequences the recombi- nation behavior of an inverted repeat was studied. We have found that in one orientation a single copy of theKanrgene of the bacterial transposon Tn903 flanked by part of the inverted repeats IS903 does not give G418 resistance inSaccharomyces cerevisiae. A reciprocal exchange in the IS903 repeats inverts theKanrgene, which then gives G4 18 resistance in a single copy. Using this as a selection for intrachromosomal reciprocal exchange we have introduced multiple restriction site heterologies into the IS903 repeats and examined the crossover products for associated gene conversions. Approximately 50% of crossovers, both in mitosis and meiosis, were associated with a gene conversion. This suggests that these crossovers result from an intermediate that gives a gene conversion in 50% of the events, that is, both reciprocal exchange and gene conversion between repeated sequences have a common origin. The data are most consistent with a heteroduplex mismatch repair mechanism.
