Abstract excerpt
Transcription-coupled repair of H2O2-induced thymine glycols and UV-induced pyrimidine dimers has been shown to occur in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In order to determine whether the preferential repair of thymine glycols is carried out by the same nucleotide excision repair complex that removes pyrimidine dimers, we examined the repair of thymine glycols in two yeast mutants, rad1 delta and rad2 delta,...
