Abstract excerpt
The efficiency and direction of mismatch correction in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SUP4-o gene were not altered by an excision-repair defect (rad1). Although excision-repair functions remove methylated adenine from yeast, adenine methylation at a GAC sequence in SUP4-o did not direct the correction of mismatches via excision repair.
