15. GAL-recombinase [made by deleting the 2-μm autonomously replicating sequence from plasmid pHM153 (14)]. One copy of the 65-bp recombinase target site [H. Araki et al., J. Mol. Biol. 225, 25 (1992)] was integrated in the "R14" fragment (5), ∼50 kb from the right end of chromosome V, with TRP1 as the selectable marker; the other copy of the recombinase site was integrated at the EcoR I site at the "R4/R5" junction, ∼20 kb from the telomere with URA3 as the marker. Upon excision of the cassette, the TRP1 marker is left behind on the chromosome while URA3 is retained on the circle. For the experiment on long-term growth of cells with the excised circle, cells were plated on minimal medium lacking uracil after induction of recombination. Clones with the excised circle were identified by CHEF gel electrophoresis and by Southern blotting, probing for the expected junction fragment on the circle. To overcome poor growth arising from loss of the circle (which contains essential genes like RAD3), we integrated a centromere (CEN5) in the URA3 gene on the circle. Integrants were selected by growth on plates containing 5-fluoroorotic acid, which selects against expression of URA3 [J. D. Boeke, F. LaCroute, G. R. Fink, Mol. Gen. Genet. 197, 345 (1984)], and correct integration of the centromere fragment was confirmed by Southern blotting and hybridization.

Davis, Science 234, 1582 (1986)] was performed in a CHEF-DR II pulsed field electrophoresis system (Bio-Rad) for 19 hours at 200 V with a switch time of 23 s, followed by 19 hours at 200 V with a switch time of 46 s. The gel was 1% agarose in 0.5× tris-borate EDTA (TBE).

22. 1 (Fig. 4), the culture was filtered, washed, and resuspended in isotopically normal minimal medium containing 1% sodium acetate, 0.5% ammonium sulfate, and α-factor, and split in half. Galactose (final concentration of 2%) was added to one portion; the other portion was the control, uninduced sample. After 5 hours, glucose was added to both portions (final concentration of 2%); 30 min thereafter, the cultures were shifted to 37°C and treated with Pronase, whereupon the cells progressed to the cdc7 block. The cells were released into S phase by shifting the culture to 23°C; samples were collected through S phase and processed for CsCl density gradient centrifugation (5). For excision at the nocodazole block, cells grown in isotopically dense medium were synchronized with α-factor as before, and nocadazole was added to the culture (final concentration of 10 μg/ ml) before release from the α-pheromone block. Once the culture had arrested as predominantly large-budded cells, it was split in two and galactose was added to one portion. After 5 hours, both portions were filtered, washed, and resuspended in isotopically normal minimal medium containing 2% glucose and incubated at 37°C until the cells reached the cdc7 block. The cells were then released into S phase and samples were collected as before. Small samples were also collected at various steps through the whole procedure and analyzed by flow cytometry to confirm the cell-cycle arrests (16).
