Abstract excerpt
A series of yeast mutants were isolated that are sensitive to killing by the monofunctional DNA-alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) but not by UV or X-radiation. We have cloned and characterized one of the corresponding genes, MMS1, and show that the mms1 Delta mutant is dramatically sensitive to killing by MMS and mildly sensitive to UV radiation. mms1 Delta mutants display an elevated level of...
