The RAD24 (= Rs1) gene product of Saccharomyces cerevisiae participates in two different pathways of DNA repair

F Eckardt-Schupp et al. Genetics. 1987 Jan.

Abstract

The moderately UV- and X-ray-sensitive mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae originally designated rs1 complements all rad and mms mutants available. Therefore, the new nomination rad24-1 according to the RAD nomenclature is suggested. RAD24 maps on chromosome V, close to RAD3 (1.3 cM). In order to associate the RAD24 gene with one of the three repair pathways, double mutants of rad24 and various representative genes of each pathway were constructed. The UV and X-ray sensitivities of the double mutants compared to the single mutants indicate that RAD24 is involved in excision repair of UV damage (RAD3 epistasis group), as well as in recombination repair of UV and X-ray damage (RAD52 epistasis group). Properties of the mutant are discussed which hint at the control of late steps in the pathways.
