Extracts of Drosophila embryos and adults have been found to catalyze highly efficient DNA mismatch repair, as well as repair of 1- and 5-bp loops. For mispairs T.G and G.G, repair is nick dependent and is specific for the nicked strand of heteroduplex DNA. In contrast, repair of A.A, C.A, G.A, C.T, T.T, and C.C is not nick dependent, suggesting the presence of glycosylase activities. For nick-...
The Dam-directed post-replicative mismatch repair system of Escherichia coli removes base pair mismatches from DNA. The products of the mutH, mutL and mutS genes, among others, are required for efficient mismatch repair. Absence of any of these gene products leads to persistence of mismatches in DNA with a resultant increase in spontaneous mutation rate. To determine the specificity of the mism...
Lynch syndrome, caused by germline mutations in the mismatch repair genes, is associated with increased cancer risk. Here using a large whole-genome sequencing data bank, cancer registry and colorectal tumour bank we determine the prevalence of Lynch syndrome, associated cancer risks and pathogenicity of several variants in the Icelandic population. We use colorectal cancer samples from 1,182 p...
The role of d(GATC) sites in determining the efficiency of methyl-directed mismatch repair in Escherichia coli was investigated. Transfection of host bacteria, both proficient and deficient in mismatch repair, with a series of artificially constructed M13 heteroduplexes showed that a decrease in the total number of d(GATC) sequences within these vectors lowered the efficiency of repair in vivo....
The human mismatch repair pathway is competent to correct DNA mismatches in a strand-specific manner. At present, only nicks are known to support strand discrimination, although the DNA end within the active site of replication is often proposed to serve this role. We therefore tested the competence of DNA ends or gaps to direct mismatch correction. Eight G.T templates were constructed which co...
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are distributed highly non-randomly in the human genome through a variety of processes from ascertainment biases (i.e. the preferential development of SNPs around interesting genes) to the action of mutation hotspots and natural selection. However, with more systematic SNP development, one might expect an increasing proportion of SNPs to be distributed mor...
Using random screening for genetic suppressor elements, we sought to identify portions of hMSH2 important to the ability of the mismatch repair system to recognize and process DNA adducts that mimic mismatches. All recovered candidate genetic suppressor elements were derived from the region containing amino acids 782 to 844. Expression of a peptide corresponding to this region partially disable...
Excessive recombination between repeated, interspersed, and diverged DNA sequences is a potential source of genomic instability. We have investigated the possibility that a mechanism exists to suppress genetic exchange between these quasi-homologous (homeologous) sequences. We examined the role of the general mismatch repair system of Escherichia coli because previous work has shown that the mi...
OBJECTIVE To document the incidence and role of p53 and DNA mismatch repair proteins in colorectal carcinomas, and to evaluate the relative frequency of major molecular pathways in colorectal cancers from Saudi Arabia. METHODS We collected the formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues from 154 colorectal tumors (83 patients from King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre and 71 from ...
