Abstract excerpt
Sensitivity of yeast cells to the bifunctional alkylating agent nitrogen mustard (HN2) depends on two independently operating physiological mechanisms of cellular metabolism: dynamics of uptake of HN2 via choline permease, encoded in the gene HNM1/CTR, and repair of HN2-induced DNA damage. Uptake of choline and HN2 is impaired in mutant alleles of HNM1/CTR, leading to a HN2 hyper-resistant phenotype....
