Effects of the CDC2 gene on adaptive mutation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract excerpt

We have studied the influence of a temperature-sensitive cdc2-1 mutation in DNA polymerase delta on the selection-induced mutation occurring at the LYS-2 locus in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It was found that in cells plated on synthetic complete medium lacking only lysine, the numbers of Lys+ revertant colonies accumulated in a time-dependent manner in the absence of any detectable increase in cell...
