Abstract excerpt
Apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) sites are expected to be one of the most frequent endogenous lesions in DNA. AP sites are potentially lethal and mutagenic. Data shows that the simultaneous inactivation of two AP endonucleases (Apn1 and Apn2) and of the nuclease Rad1-Rad10 causes cell death in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We suggest that the essential function of Apn1, Apn2, and Rad1-Rad10 is to repair endogenous AP sites...
