Selective recognition of a cisplatin-DNA adduct by human mismatch repair proteins.
The antitumor agent cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin) introduces cytotoxic DNA damage predominantly in the form of intrastrand crosslinks between adjacent purines. Binding assays using a series of duplex oligonucleotides containing a single 1,2 diguanyl intrastrand crosslink indicate that human cell extracts contain factors that preferentially recognise this type of damage when the c...
متن کاملDifferential involvement of the human mismatch repair proteins, hMLH1 and hMSH2, in transcription-coupled repair.
Defects in DNA mismatch repair have been associated with both hereditary and sporadic forms of cancer. Recently, it has been shown that human cell lines deficient in mismatch repair were also defective in the transcription-coupled repair (TCR) of UV-induced DNA damage. We examined whether TCR of ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage also requires the genes involved in DNA mismatch repair. Cells...
متن کاملThe Human Mismatch Recognition Complex hMSH2-hMSH6 Functions as a Novel Molecular Switch
The mechanism of DNA mismatch repair has been modeled upon biochemical studies of the E. coli DNA adenine methylation-instructed pathway where the initial recognition of mismatched nucleotides is performed by the MutS protein. MutS homologs (MSH) have been identified based on a highly conserved region containing a Walker-A adenine nucleotide binding motif. Here we show that adenine nucleotide b...
متن کاملCell cycle regulation of the human DNA mismatch repair genes hMSH2, hMLH1, and hPMS2.
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is a cancer susceptibility syndrome that has been found to be caused by mutations in any of several genes involved in DNA mismatch repair, including hMSH2, hMLH1, or hPMS2. Recent reports have suggested that hMSH2 and hMLH1 have a role in the regulation of the cell cycle. To determine if these genes are cell cycle regulated, we examined their mRNA and p...
متن کاملExpression of hMSH2 protein of the human DNA mismatch repair system in oral lichen planus
Lichen planus is a mucocutaneous disease of inflammatory nature and unknown etiology. It is characterized by a cell-mediated immunological response to induced antigenic change in skin and/or mucosa. The possible malignant transformation of lichen planus remains a subject of controversial discussions in the literature. hMSH2 is one of the human DNA mismatch repair (hMMR) genes and it plays an im...
