Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae ngs1-1 mutant was previously identified by its enhanced sensitivity to simple DNA-alkylating agents such as methyl methanesulfonate but not to UV. Molecular cloning and sequencing of NGS1 as a putative DNA-alkylation repair gene revealed that it isidentical to MRE11, a gene that is involved in DNA recombinational repair. In order to investigate functional domains of the Mre11 protein,...
