SummaryWe have measured repair of both of the major lesions induced by ultraviolet irradiation (cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers and 6‐4 photoproducts) in wild‐type Schizosaccharomyces pombe and in selected rad mutants, including mutants with deletions in genes from the main phenotypic groups. We find that rad13Δ, rad15 and rad16Δ, which are the S. pombe homologues of the excision‐defective Saccharomyces cerevisiae rad2, rad3 and rad1, respectively, repair lesions somewhat more slowly than the wild type, but still have considerable repair capacity. rad2Δ, also a presumed excision‐defective mutant, behaves similarly. radS and rad9δ, which belong to different phenotypic groups, repair lesions at the same rate as wild‐type cells. These findings provide new evidence that S. pombe has a second repair system for removing ultraviolet damage, which is absent in S. cerevisiae. Surprisingly, this second mechanism repairs lesions very efficiently; its possible nature is discussed.

Ranked by citation count — the same ordering the engine uses when summing log1p(Cq) over citers.
DataRank blends this paper's own citation count with the influence of the papers that cite it. Here, roughly 20% comes from its base citations and 80% from the citation network (35 citing papers contributed measurable signal).
Citers are pulled from OpenAlex sorted by cited_by_count:descand capped per paper, so when the cap binds we keep the highest-signal references and the score is reproducible across reruns.
