Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RAD52 gene was introduced into the human fibrosarcoma-derived cell line HT1080. Transfected cell lines that expressed the yeast transgene catalyzed inter-plasmid homologous DNA recombination at frequencies approx. 12-fold higher than did control cells. Additional experiments revealed that yeast RAD52 gene expression increased the level of resistance to the DNA damaging agents...
