Abstract excerpt
A Kluyveromyces lactis mutant, hypersensitive to the DNA-targeting drugs ethidium bromide (EtBr), berenil, and HOE15030, can be complemented by a wild-type gene with homology to SIR2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ScSIR2). The deduced amino acid sequence of the K. lactis Sir2 protein has 53% identity with ScSir2 protein but is 108 residues longer. K. lactis sir2 mutants show decreased mating efficiency, deficiency...
