Description
Biochem/physiol Actions Phleomycin is a structurally related form of the antibiotic, bleomycin. Phleomycin blocks S-phase entry in the cell cycle. While phleomycin can damage DNA, like bleomycin, it is not used as an anticancer agent, but rather as a selection agent. The RAD6 DNA repair gene is essential for phleomycin resistance in mutant yeast.
