Abstract excerpt
A temperature-sensitive mre11-1 mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae causes defects in meiotic recombination and DNA repair during vegetative growth at a restrictive temperature. We cloned the MRE11 gene and found that it encodes a 643-amino acid protein with a highly acidic region containing a heptad repeat of Asp at its C-terminus and is located downstream of YMR44 near the RNA1 locus on the right arm of...
