Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-induced reversion of two sites which revert preferentially by GC to AT transitions,cycl-131andcycl-115, has been examined in readiation sensitive, rad, mutants of yeast belonging to the rad52 epistasis group. Therad50,rad51,rad52,rad54andrad56mutants showed reduced reversion of both tester sites when stationary phase diploid cells were treated with EMS. No correlation was found between EMS-induced reversion and EMS-induced homologous mitotic intragenic recombination. Survival ofrad6rad52double mutants following EMS treatment indicates that there is one epistasis group for the repair of EMS-induced lethal damage in yeast. A model involving misrepair mutagenesis of specific lesions is proposed to account for the experimental results.
