Abstract excerpt
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) functions in DNA replication as a processivity factor for polymerases delta and epsilon, and in multiple DNA repair processes. We describe two temperature-sensitive lethal alleles (mus209(B1) and mus209(2735)) of the Drosophila PCNA gene that, at temperatures permissive for growth, result in hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, suppression of position-effect...
