Abstract excerpt
In humans, a mutation in the tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase (Tdp1) is responsible for the recessively inherited syndrome spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy (SCAN1). Tdp1 is a well-conserved DNA repair enzyme, which processes modified 3' phospho-DNA adducts in vitro. Here, we report that in the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, tdp1 mutant cells progressively accumulate DNA damage and rapidly lose...
