Abstract
Two independently segregating ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity genes in Neurospora crassa interact synergistically resulting in UV sensitivity approximately twice that expected based on an evaluation of the sensitivities of the individual mutants. The mutant genes singly and together reduce photoreactivation (PR) in vivo although a PR enzyme is produced which exhibits normal activity in vitro.
