Abstract excerpt
In Schizosaccharomyces pombe 11 different switching genes (swi1 to swi10 and rad22) are known which are involved in mating-type (MT) switching. Mutations in swi5, swi9, swi10 and rad22 also cause an increased radiation sensitivity. We tested whether the survival of these mutants after UV irradiation is influenced by caffeine. We included rad1 and rad13 mutants in our experiments which do not affect MT switching....
