Human DNA mismatch repair: coupling of mismatch recognition to strand-specific excision
Eukaryotic mismatch-repair (MMR) proteins MutSalpha and MutLalpha couple recognition of base mismatches to strand-specific excision, initiated in vivo at growing 3' ends and 5' Okazaki-fragment ends or, in human nuclear extracts, at nicks in exogenous circular substrates. We addressed five biochemical questions relevant to coupling models. Excision remained fully efficient at DNA:MutSalpha rati...
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 کاملStrand-specific mismatch repair in mammalian cells.
Mistakes occurring during DNA transactions necessarily produce mismatched base pairs. DNA biosynthetic errors that escape the polymerase editing function yield mispaired bases, but mismatches also populate a recombination heteroduplex produced by strand transfer between related sequences that have diverged at the nucleotide level. Study of microbial systems has demonstrated the importance of mi...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of a G:T/U Mismatch-Specific DNA Glycosylase Mismatch Recognition by Complementary-Strand Interactions
G:U mismatches resulting from deamination of cytosine are the most common promutagenic lesions occurring in DNA. Uracil is removed in a base-excision repair pathway by uracil DNA-glycosylase (UDG), which excises uracil from both single- and double-stranded DNA. Recently, a biochemically distinct family of DNA repair enzymes has been identified, which excises both uracil and thymine, but only fr...
متن کاملMismatch repair and nucleotide excision repair proteins cooperate in the recognition of DNA interstrand crosslinks
DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) are among the most cytotoxic types of DNA damage, thus ICL-inducing agents such as psoralen, are clinically useful chemotherapeutics. Psoralen-modified triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) have been used to target ICLs to specific genomic sites to increase the selectivity of these agents. However, how TFO-directed psoralen ICLs (Tdp-ICLs) are recognized and ...
