Abstract excerpt
We have analyzed the X-ray-sensitive CHO mutant cell line EM9 for sensitivity to the topoisomerase I inhibitor comptothecin. These cells exhibit defective repair of single strand DNA breaks. Recently, EM9 were complemented the DNA ligase III interactive protein, XRCC1. Defective XRCC1 apparently accounts for the low DNA ligase III activity that may explain the single-strand break repair deficiency of EM9 cells....
