Abstract excerpt
SGS1 encodes a protein having DNA helicase activity, and a mutant allele of SGS1 was identified as a suppressor of the slow growth phenotype of top3 mutants. In this study, we examined whether Sgs1 prevents formation of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) or is involved in DSB repair following exposure to methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). An analysis by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and epistasis analyses indicated...
