Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms by which imbalanced dNTPs induce mutations have been well characterized within a test tube, but not in vivo. We have examined mechanisms by which dNTP imbalances induce genome instability in strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with different amino acid substitutions in Rnr1, the large subunit of ribonucleotide reductase. These strains have different dNTP imbalances that correlate with elevated CAN1...
