Abstract excerpt
The antitumor drug bleomycin can produce a variety of lesions in the cellular DNA by a free radical dependent mechanism. To understand how these DNA lesions are repaired, bleomycin-hypersensitive mutants were isolated from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We report here the analysis of one mutant, DRY25, that showed extreme sensitivity to bleomycin. This mutant also exhibited hypersensitivity to hydrogen...
