RESUMO
Excision of interstrand DNA cross-links induced by 4,5',8-trimethyl psoralen plus 360-nm light was examined in wild type (RAD+) and various radiation-sensitive (rad) mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae known to be defective in the excision of UV light-induced pyrimidine dimers. Alkaline sucrose sedimentation of DNA after incubation of psoralen-plus-light-treated cells indicated little or no nicking of cross-linked DNA in rad1-2, rad2-5, rad3-2, rad4-4, rad10-2, and mms19-1 mutants. In the rad14-2 mutant, substantial nicking was observed but to a much lesser extent than in the RAD+ strains, whereas the rad16-1 mutant was as proficient in nicking as the RAD+ strain. Removal of cross-links was also examined in RAD+, rad3-2, and rad14-2 strains by determining the sensitivity of alkali-denatured and -neutralized DNA to hydrolysis by S1 nuclease. No cross-link removal was observed in the rad3-2 mutants, and the rad14-2 mutant was much less efficient than the RAD+ strain in removing cross-links.
