Abstract excerpt
Mutagenic PCR method was applied to introduce point mutations to the B'A' core domain of yeast DNA topoisomerase II. Screens for mutants resistant to the anticancer drug etoposide were carried out in a yeast ts system in the presence of high concentrations of the drug or in a drug-hypersensitive genetic background. 129 mutants were obtained from a total of 47,000 transformants. Nucleotide sequencing of 40...
