Abstract excerpt
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been exploited to investigate the cytotoxic mechanisms of drugs that target DNA topoisomerases. This model organism has been used to establish eukaryotic DNA topoisomerase I or II as the cellular target of specific antineoplastic agents, to define mutations in these enzymes that confer drug resistance and to elucidate the cellular factors that modulate cell...
