DNAs that contain specific yeast chromosomal sequences calledARSstransformSaccharomyces cerevisiaeat high frequency and can replicate extrachromosomally as plasmids when introduced intoS. cerevisiaeby transformation. To determine the boundaries of the minimal sequences required for autonomous replication inS. cerevisiae, we have carried out in vitro mutagenesis of the first chromosomalARSdescribed,ARS1. Rather than identifying a distinct and continuous segment that mediates theARS+phenotype, we find three different functional domains withinARS1. We define domain A as the 11-base-pair (bp) sequence that is also found at most otherARSregions. It is necessary but not sufficient for high-frequency transformation. Domain B, which cannot mediate high-frequency transformation, or replicate by itself, is required for efficient, stable replication of plasmids containing domain A. Domain B, as we define it, is continuous with domain A inARS1, but insertions of 4 bp between the two do not affect replication. The extent of domain B has an upper limit of 109 bp and a lower limit of 46 bp in size. There is no obvious sequence homology between domain B ofARS1and any otherARSsequence. Finally, domain C is defined on the basis of our deletions as at least 200 bp flanking domain A on the opposite side from domain B and is also required for the stability of domain A inS. cerevisiae. The effect of deletions of domain C can be observed only in the absence of domain B, at least by the assays used in the current study, and the significance of this finding is discussed.
