Abstract excerpt
The product of the RAD3 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is required for mitotic cell viability and excision repair of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers. Certain rad3 mutant alleles (originally called rem1) increase the rates of both spontaneous mitotic recombination and mutation. The increase in mutation rates is not dependent upon the presence of the RAD6 error-prone pathway. The mutator phenotype suggests that the...
