Abstract excerpt
The REC2 gene of Ustilago maydis encodes a homologue of the Escherichia coli RecA protein and was first identified in a screen for UV-sensitive mutants. The original isolate, rec2-1, was found to be deficient in repair of DNA damage, genetic recombination and meiosis. We report here that the rec2-197 allele, which was constructed by gene disruption, retains some biological activity and is partially dominant with...
