Abstract
The RAD23 gene of Saccharomyces cervisiae is required for excision-repair of UV Damage DNA. In this paper, we determine the location of the RAD23 gene in a cloned DNA fragment, identify the 1.6 kb RAD23 transcript, and examine RAD23 transcript levels in UV damaged cells, during the mitotic cell cycle, and in meiosis at a stage conicident with high levels of genetic recombination. This response is specific to sporulation competent MATa/MAT.alpha. diploid cells, and is not observed in asporogenous MATa/MATa diploids. RAD23 mRNA levels, however, remain constant during the mitotic cell cycle.
