Abstract excerpt
The evolutionary conservation of pathways preserving genetic stability supports the use of a lower eukaryote such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in screening for novel anti-neoplastic agents. Yeast is already established as a model system to characterize the cellular effects of the topoisomerase inhibitor and anti-cancer agent camptothecin (CPT). Here, we demonstrate that a recently developed two-hybrid...
