The repair of UV-irradiated DNA of plasmid pBB29 was studied in an incision-defective rad3-2 strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in a uvrA6 strain of Escherichia coli by the measurement of cell transformation. Plasmid pBB29 used in these experiments contained as markers the DNA of nuclear yeast g
The OGG1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a DNA glycosylase that excises 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-OxoG). When compared to wild-type, ogg1 mutants show an increase in the frequency of GC to TA transversions, indicating a role for Ogg1 in the repair of 8-OxoG. Here we report an increased fr
