Abstract excerpt
Rhp41 and Rhp42 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe are homologues of human XPC, which is involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) of damaged DNA. Inactivation of rhp41 caused moderate sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In addition, an increase of mitotic mutation rates was observed in the rhp41 mutant, which was dependent on active translesion polymerase Z. UV sensitivity and mutation rates were not...
