Comparison of sensitivity and liquid holding recovery in rad mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae inactivated by UV and DEB. 1978

J Zuk, and D Zaborowska, and Z Swietlińska

Twenty one UV-sensitive rad mutants were tested for their sensitivity towards DEB. All mutants were more sensitive to this treatment than the wild type. Seven mutants were classified as supersensitive to DEB (rad 1-1, 2,3, 6, 15 and 18-2), while only rad2 and rad3 can be classified as supersensitive to UV. For all mutants ability for liquid holding recovery (LHR) after UV and DEB was compared. Mutants rad 1-1, 3, 5, 6, 9 and 11 differ in their response to LH after the two treatments. Survival of rad1-1 and rad3 increases signficantly during LH after DEB but not after UV exposure. In contrast rad5, 6, 11, and 22 show marked LHR after UV but no increase of survival after DEB treatment.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009154	Mutation	Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations.	Mutations
D011836	Radiation Tolerance	The ability of some cells or tissues to survive lethal doses of IONIZING RADIATION. Tolerance depends on the species, cell type, and physical and chemical variables, including RADIATION-PROTECTIVE AGENTS and RADIATION-SENSITIZING AGENTS.

D014466	Ultraviolet Rays	That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
