Abstract excerpt
Homozygous mutations in the human ATM gene lead to a pleiotropic clinical phenotype of ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) patients and correlating cellular deficiencies in cells derived from A-T donors. Saccharomyces cerevisiae tel1 mutants lacking Tel1p, which is the closest sequence homologue to the ATM protein, share some of the cellular defects with A-T. Through genetic complementation of A-T cells with the yeast...
