Abstract


The MAG1 gene encodes a 3-methyladenine DNA glycoslyase, which is involved in DNA alkylation repair in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mag1 mutant is deficient in 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase activity and shows enhanced sensitivity to several monofunctional alkylating agents. MAG1 is allelic to MMS5. This gene has been previously located on chromosome V by chromosomal hybridization. We present physical and genetic mapping data here showing that the MAG1 gene is located on chromosome V-R, proximal to and about 10 kilobase pairs away from the SPT15 gene coding for the yeast TATA-binding protein TFIID.
