Both theREO1andROX1genes are thought to encode heme-dependent, transcriptional repressors of hypoxic genes inSaccharomyces cerevisiae.However, genetic complementation studies have yielded conflicting results about whether these are the same or different genes. Because of the central importance of these repressors, which control the expression of nearly all known hypoxic genes in yeast, we have sought to resolve this confusion by comparing the phenotypes ofreo1androx1mutants using Northern-blot analyses, performing additional complementation studies, and sequencing theROX1gene inreo1strains. Northern-blot analyses of areo1strain show wild-type expression of the aerobic genes examined, but de-repression of the Rox1-regulated, hypoxic genes. Aerobic transcript levels of these hypoxic genes were also de-repressed in a diploid strain created by mating a rox1disrupted strain with areo1strain, indicating that genetic complementation did not occur between these two strains. Sequence analyses ofROX1inreo1strains reveal a frame-shift mutation in the 5′-end of its coding region, resulting in a nonsense codon in the sixth position. Taken together, these results provide compelling evidence that reo1is an allele ofROX1.
