DNA mismatch repair.
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is an evolutionarily conserved process that corrects mismatches generated during DNA replication and escape proofreading. MMR proteins also participate in many other DNA transactions, such that inactivation of MMR can have wide-ranging biological consequences, which can be either beneficial or detrimental. We begin this review by briefly considering the multiple functi...
متن کاملSnapShot: DNA Mismatch Repair
Mismatch Repair in Bacteria and Eukaryotes Mismatch repair in the bacterium Escherichia coli is initiated when a homodimer of MutS binds as an asymmetric clamp to DNA containing a variety of base-base and insertion-deletion mismatches. The MutL homodimer then couples MutS recognition to the signal that distinguishes between the template and nascent DNA strands. In E. coli, the lack of adenine m...
متن کاملEGFR inhibits DNA mismatch repair.
Safeguarding the integrity of the genome should not be left to chance. Indeed, all organisms have highly effective mechanisms to detect and remove errors and lesions in DNA. DNA mismatch repair (MMR) serves as the final safeguard in assuring the fidelity of DNA replication from bacteria to humans and backstops the nucleotide selection and exonuclease proofreading activities of replicative polym...
متن کاملMismatch repair in heteroduplex DNA.
DNA with base pair mismatches was prepared by annealing mixtures of genetically marked DNA from bacteriophage lambda. This heteroduplex DNA was used to transfect bacteria under conditions minimizing recombination. Genetic analysis of the progeny phages indicates that: (i) Mismatch repair occurs, usually giving rise to a DNA molecule with one chain with the genotype arising from repair and one p...
متن کاملDNA Mismatch Repair in Eukaryotes and Bacteria
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) corrects mismatched base pairs mainly caused by DNA replication errors. The fundamental mechanisms and proteins involved in the early reactions of MMR are highly conserved in almost all organisms ranging from bacteria to human. The significance of this repair system is also indicated by the fact that defects in MMR cause human hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancers as w...
