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

Eukaryotic cells are able to mount several genetically complex cellular responses to DNA damage. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a genetically well characterized organism that is also amenable to molecular and biochemical studies. Hence, this organism has provided a useful and informative mode
We studied the repair of double-strand breaks (DSB) in plasmid DNA introduced into haploid cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The efficiency of repair was estimated from the frequency of transformation of the cells by an autonomously replicated linearized plasmid. The frequency of "lithium
The survival of plasmid YRpl2 treated in vitro with ultraviolet-or 7-radiation, or with restriction endonucleases, has been used to investigate in vivo RAD gene activity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Yields of pyrmidine dimers or single and double strand breaks in plasmid DNA were assayed by physical
The repair of double-strand gaps (DSGs) in the plasmid DNA of radiosensitive mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been analyzed. The proportion of repair events that resulted in complete plasmid DNA DSG recovery was close to 100% in Rad+ cells. Mutation rad55 does not influence the efficiency and
