Two DNA segments exhibiting ARS (autonomously replicating sequence) activity in the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica were cloned from its chromosome on an integrative LEU2 plasmid. These ARS segments, designated YlARS1 and YlARS2, conferred on the hybrid plasmids high transformation efficiency and enabled extrachromosomal transmission of the plasmids in 1 or 2 copies per yeast cell under selective conditions. Deletion analysis showed that at least 728-1003 bp for YlARS1 and 1377-1629 bp for YIARS2 were required for full function. Both of these regions contained two 10/11 matches to an ARS core consensus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, whereas neither was similar to the S. cerevisiae centromere sequence. Significantly, both YlARS elements contained at, or close to, their boundaries a 13 bp sequence, 5'-TATATTCAAGCAA-3', which resembles the cleavage site for topoisomerase 2 in Drosophila. A central 524 bp Cla1 fragment of YlARS2 contained four stretches of a 17 bp direct repeat sequence, 5'GAAAAACAAAAACAGGC-3', and exhibited the electrophoretic behavior typical of bent DNA.
