Abstract excerpt
We present evidence that DNA polymerase delta of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, an enzyme that is essential for viability and chromosomal replication, is also required for base excision repair of exogenous DNA methylation damage. The large catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase delta is encoded by the CDC2(POL3) gene. We find that the mutant allele cdc2-2 confers sensitivity to killing by methyl methanesulfonate (MMS)...
