Figure 5

Dependence of high temperature phenotype on recombination. A rad52 mutation was introduced into wild type and each of the mutant strains. pGTy1 mobility was then determined for each strain. Black circles indicate rad52 (JKc1363); open squares are rad52 sml1Δ (JKc1361); open triangles rad52 rfx1Δ (JKc1360). The rad52 mutation eliminates the high temperature (34°C) mobility in the rfx1 deletion strain, but not in the sml1 deletion strain. Each point represents the average of three measurements; error bars indicate the standard deviation. See Additional file 2 for numerical values.
