In most organisms, the mismatch repair (MMR) system plays an important role in substantially lowering mutation rates and blocking recombination between nonidentical sequences. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the products of three genes homologous to Escherichia coli mutS-MSH2, MSH3, and MSH6-function in MMR by recognizing mispaired bases. To determine the effect of MMR on single-base pair mismatch...
There is conflicting evidence for the role of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes hMLH1 and hMSH2 in the transcription-coupled repair (TCR) pathway of nucleotide excision repair. In the present work, we have examined the role of these MMR genes in nucleotide excision repair using two reporter gene assays. AdHCMVlacZ is a replication-deficient recombinant adenovirus that expresses the beta-galactosi...
Selection of cells for resistance to cisplatin, a well-recognized mutagen, could result in mutations in genes involved in DNA mismatch repair and thereby to resistance to DNA-alkylating agents. Parental cells of the human ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line 2008 expressed hMLH1 when analyzed with immunoblot. One subline selected for resistance to cisplatin (2008/A) expressed no hMLH1, whereas anot...
BACKGROUND The genome of the halophilic archaeon Halobacterium salinarum NRC-1 encodes for homologs of MutS and MutL, which are key proteins of a DNA mismatch repair pathway conserved in Bacteria and Eukarya. Mismatch repair is essential for retaining the fidelity of genetic information and defects in this pathway result in the deleterious accumulation of mutations and in hereditary diseases in...
Mutations of genes associated with the mismatch repair mechanism and mutations of the APC gene are the most frequent causes of hereditary colorectal cancer. An iPLEX test combined with TaqMan genotyping assays was therefore developed to identify common recurrent mutations of those genes in the Polish population. We analyzed 349 DNA samples from 95 positive controls previously identified by sequ...
Null mutations in three recombination and DNA repair genes were studied to determine their effects on mitotic recombination between the duplicate AdoMet (S-adenosylmethionine) synthetase genes (SAM1 and SAM2) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. SAM1 and SAM2, located on chromosomes XII and IV, respectively, encode functionally equivalent although differentially regulated AdoMet synthetases. These simi...
BACKGROUND Genetic instability is a characteristic feature of familial and sporadic breast carcinomas. It is not clear whether defects in the mismatch repair system accompany this instability. The purpose of this study was to explore the expression of two of the proteins encoded by the DNA mismatch repair genes, namely MLH1 and MSH2, in sporadic in situ and invasive breast carcinomas of various...
