Abstract excerpt
In fungal species, lysine 56 of newly synthesized histone H3 molecules is modified by the acetyltransferase Rtt109, which promotes resistance to genotoxic agents. To further explore how H3 K56ac contributes to genome stability, we conducted screens for suppressors of the DNA damage sensitivity of budding yeast rtt109 Delta mutants. We recovered a single extragenic suppressor mutation that efficiently restored...
