Abstract excerpt
Illudin S (ILS) is a fungal sesquiterpene secondary metabolite with potent genotoxic and cytotoxic properties. Early genetic studies and more recent genome-wide CRISPR screens showed that Illudin-induced lesions are preferentially repaired by transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) with some contribution from post-replication repair pathways. In line with these results, Irofulven, a...
