Abstract excerpt
Pif1 family 5' → 3' DNA helicases are important for replication fork progression and genome stability. The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes two Pif1 family helicases, Rrm3 and Pif1, both of which are multi-functional. Here we describe novel functions for Rrm3 in promoting mutation avoidance during DNA replication. We show that loss of RRM3 results in elevated spontaneous mutations made by DNA...
