mitomycin c/oryza sativa

We isolated and characterized the rice homologue of the DNA repair gene Snm1 (OsSnm1). The length of the cDNA was 1862bp; the open reading frame encoded a predicted product of 485 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 53.2kDa. The OsSnm1 protein contained the conserved beta-lactamase domain

The role of rice (Oryza sativa) COM1 in meiotic homologous recombination (HR) is well-understood, but its part in somatic double-strand break (DSB) repair remains unclear. Here, we show that COM1 confers the tolerance against DNA damages for rice plants caused by the chemicals, bleomycin and

Replication protein A (RPA), a highly conserved single-stranded DNA-binding protein in eukaryotes, is a stable complex comprising three subunits termed RPA1, RPA2, and RPA3. RPA is required for multiple processes in DNA metabolism such as replication, repair, and homologous recombination in yeast
