Abstract excerpt
To identify new molecular components of the Brh2-governed homologous recombination (HR)-network in the highly radiation-resistant fungus Ustilago maydis, we undertook a genetic screen for suppressors of blm-KR hydroxyurea (HU)-sensitivity. Twenty DNA-damage sensitive mutants were obtained, three of which showing slow-growth phenotypes. Focusing on the "normally" growing candidates we identified five mutations,...
