Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotes, nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a complex reaction requiring multiple proteins. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, two of these proteins, Rad7 and Rad16, are specifically involved in the removal of lesions from transcriptionally silent regions of the genome in vivo. Extracts prepared from rad7 or rad16 mutant cells are deficient, but not totally defective, in both oligonucleotide excision...
