Abstract excerpt
Srs2 helicase is believed to function as an anti-recombinase by resolving inappropriate Rad51-DNA filament. We found synthetic lethality or poor growth of srs2 with rad3 or mrc1 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Lethality may result from a defect in non-checkpoint function of Rad3 or Mrc1 in the absence of Srs2, because srs2 rad9, srs2 chk1 cds1 or srs2 mrc1-14A (non-phosphorylatable mrc1 allele) did not show...
