Abstract excerpt
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, inactivation of the two DNA N-glycosylases Ntg1p and Ntg2p does not result in a spontaneous mutator phenotype, whereas simultaneous inactivation of Ntglp, Ntg2p and Radlp or Rad14p, both of which are involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER), does. The triple mutants rad1 ntg1 ntg2 and rad14 ntg1 ntg2 show 15- and 22-fold increases, respectively, in spontaneous forward mutation to...
