Abstract: | Summary The conditional cdc8 mutant is known to be defective, under restrictive conditions, in the elongation of DNA during synthesis. In yeast the CDC8 gene encodes thymidylate kinase. We show here that UV-induced gene conversion and gene mutation events require the participation of this CDC8 gene. Thus, the same thymidylate kinase is incolved both in DNA replication and in UV-induced gene conversion and gene mutation in yeast. |
