Mammalian mismatch repair: error-free or error-prone?
A considerable surge of interest in the mismatch repair (MMR) system has been brought about by the discovery of a link between Lynch syndrome, an inherited predisposition to cancer of the colon and other organs, and malfunction of this key DNA metabolic pathway. This review focuses on recent advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of canonical MMR, which improves replication f...
متن کاملInducible error-prone repair in Escherichia coli.
A hypothesis that ultraviolet-induced mutagenesis arises from the induction of an error-prone mode of postreplication repair that requires the exrA+ recA+ genotype has been tested with alkaline sucrose gradient centrifugation coupled with assays of fixation determined by loss of photoreversibility. The inhibitor of protein synthesis, chloramphenicol, added before irradiation, prevented a small ...
متن کاملIncreased Hypermutation at G and C Nucleotides in Immunoglobulin Variable Genes from Mice Deficient in the MSH2 Mismatch Repair Protein
Rearranged immunoglobulin variable genes are extensively mutated after stimulation of B lymphocytes by antigen. Mutations are likely generated by an error-prone DNA polymerase, and the mismatch repair pathway may process the mispairs. To examine the role of the MSH2 mismatch repair protein in hypermutation, Msh2-/- mice were immunized with oxazolone, and B cells were analyzed for mutation in th...
متن کاملModulation of error-prone double-strand break repair in mammalian chromosomes by DNA mismatch repair protein Mlh1.
We assayed error-prone double-strand break (DSB) repair in wild-type and isogenic Mlh1-null mouse embryonic fibroblasts containing a stably integrated DSB repair substrate. The substrate contained a thymidine kinase (tk) gene fused to a neomycin-resistance (neo) gene; the tk-neo fusion gene was disrupted in the tk portion by a 22bp oligonucleotide containing the 18 bp recognition site for endon...
متن کاملA role for DNA mismatch repair protein Msh2 in error-prone double-strand-break repair in mammalian chromosomes.
We examined error-prone nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) in Msh2-deficient and wild-type Chinese hamster ovary cell lines. A DNA substrate containing a thymidine kinase (tk) gene fused to a neomycin-resistance (neo) gene was stably integrated into cells. The fusion gene was rendered nonfunctional due to a 22-bp oligonucleotide insertion, which included the 18-bp I-SceI endonuclease recognition ...
