Abstract excerpt
We describe a system that allows us to easily isolate and characterize mutants in yeast topoisomerase II that are resistant to antitumor agents that target this enzyme. The system uses yeast strains that are sensitive to those agents and that carry temperature-sensitive top2 mutations. The temper...
