An increasing number of eukaryotic proteins have been shown to have a dual localization in the DNA-containing organelles, mitochondria and plastids, and/or the nucleus. Regulation of dual targeting and relocation of proteins from organelles to the nucleus offer the most direct means for communication between organelles as well as organelles and nucleus. Most of the mitochondrial proteins of animals have functions in DNA repair and gene expression by modelling of nucleoid architecture and/or chromatin. In plants, such proteins can affect replication and early development. Most plastid proteins with a confirmed or predicted second location in the nucleus are associated with the prokaryotic core RNA polymerase and are required for chloroplast development and light responses. Few plastid–nucleus-located proteins are involved in pathogen defence and cell cycle control. For three proteins, it has been clearly shown that they are first targeted to the organelle and then relocated to the nucleus, i.e. the nucleoid-associated proteins HEMERA and Whirly1 and the stroma-located defence protein NRIP1. Relocation to the nucleus can be experimentally demonstrated by plastid transformation leading to the synthesis of proteins with a tag that enables their detection in the nucleus or by fusions with fluoroproteins in different experimental set-ups. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Retrograde signalling from endosymbiotic organelles’.

ABSTRACT ATCC4117 is a strain of S. cerevisiae that undergoes a single nuclear division during sporulation to produce asci containing two diploid ascospores (Grewal and Miller 1972). All clones derived from these spores are sporulation-capable and, like the parental strain, form two-spored asci. In this paper, we describe the genetic analysis of ATCC4117. In tetraploid hybrids of vegetative cells of the ATCC4117 diploid and a/a or α/α diploids, the production of two-spored asci is recessive. From these tetraploids, we have isolated two recessive alleles, designated spo12–1 and spo13–1, each of which alone results in the production of asci with two diploid or near-diploid spores. These alleles are unlinked and segregate as single nuclear genes. spo12–1 is approximately 22 cM from its centromere; spo13–1 has been localized to within 1 cM of arg4 on chromosome VIII. This analysis also revealed that ATCC4117 carries a diploidization gene allelic to or closely linked to HO, modifiers that reduce the number of haploid spores per ascus and alleles affecting the total level of sporulation.

ABSTRACT A deterministic model allowing variation at a nuclear genetic locus in a population segregating two cytoplasmic types is formulated. Additive, multiplicative and symmetric viability matrices are analyzed for existence and stability of equilibria. The protectedness of polymorphisms in both nuclear genes and cytoplasmic types is also investigated in the general model. In no case is a complete polymorphism protected with this deterministic model. Results are discussed in light of the extensive variation in mtDNA that has recently been reported.
