Abstract excerpt
The anti-cancer drug camptothecin targets eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I by trapping the covalent complex formed between the catalytically active enzyme and DNA. We are interested in identifying factors, other than topoisomerase I, that are involved in mediating cellular sensitivity to camptothecin. To this end, we have isolated eighteen mutants that are sensitive to camptothecin (sca) in the filamentous fungus...
