Abstract excerpt
The TDP1 gene encodes a protein that can hydrolyze certain types of 3'-terminal phosphodiesters, but the relevance of these catalytic activities to gene function has not been previously tested. In this work we engineered a point mutation in TDP1 and present evidence that, as per design, it severely diminishes tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase enzyme activity without affecting protein folding. The phenotypes of yeast...
