Abstract excerpt
The antitumor activity of bleomycin is associated with its ability to produce DNA lesions. The cellular process that repairs bleomycin-induced DNA lesions is not entirely clear. To understand how these DNA lesions are repaired in eukaryotic cells, we used mini Tn3 : : LEU2 :: LacZ transposon mutagenesis to isolate yeast mutants that were hypersensitive to bleomycin. One of the mutants, HCY69, was characterized...
