Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule which, when expressed in a cell, increases resistance in said cell to a photosensitizer, said molecule comprising a sequence selected from the group consisting of:(a) SEQ ID NO:1;(b) nucleotides 825-1853 of SEQ ID NO:1;(c) sequences that encode, a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2; and(d) sequences that hybridize to a sequence of (a), (b) or (c), above under strinegent conditions represented by a wash stringency of 50% Formanide with 5.times. Denhardt's solution, 0.5% SDS and 1.times. SSPE at 42.degree. C., and that, when expressed in a cell, increase resistance in said cell to a photosensitizer.
