Evidence Suggesting a Mismatch Repair Mechanism
In standard crosses, some rIIB mutants of T4 phage were found to be susceptible to an extra recombination mechanism to which the other mutants were much less susceptible. The following observations were interpreted as evidence for the mismatch-repair nature of the phenomenon: (1) Marker-dependent recombination generates exclusively double exchanges at both sides of the marker. (2) Marker-depend...
متن کاملDynamic control of strand excision during human DNA mismatch repair.
Mismatch repair (MMR) is activated by evolutionarily conserved MutS homologs (MSH) and MutL homologs (MLH/PMS). MSH recognizes mismatched nucleotides and form extremely stable sliding clamps that may be bound by MLH/PMS to ultimately authorize strand-specific excision starting at a distant 3'- or 5'-DNA scission. The mechanical processes associated with a complete MMR reaction remain enigmatic....
متن کاملMolecular mechanism of nucleotide excision repair.
From its very beginning, life has faced the fundamental problem that the form in which genetic information is stored is not chemically inert. DNA integrity is challenged by the damaging effect of numerous chemical and physical agents, compromizing its function. To protect this Achilles heel, an intricate network of DNA repair systems has evolved early in evolution. One of these is nucleotide ex...
متن کاملNucleotide excision repair, a tracking mechanism in search of damage.
Nucleotide excision repair (NER)l in all organisms, is able to accommodate to virtually any kind of DNA damage unlike many repair systems whose specificity is limited to a single species of damage. As a consequence NER has the advantage of being effective in responding to new types of environmental agents able to damage DNA. The model repair system under extensive study is the Escherichia coli ...
متن کاملRegulation of mitotic homeologous recombination in yeast. Functions of mismatch repair and nucleotide excision repair genes.
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologs of the bacterial mismatch repair proteins MutS and MutL correct replication errors and prevent recombination between homeologous (nonidentical) sequences. Previously, we demonstrated that Msh2p, Msh3p, and Pms1p regulate recombination between 91% identical inverted repeats, and here use the same substrates to show that Mlh1p and Msh6p have important antirec...
