This correspondence is an addendum to our recent report (1) about the prevalence of Lynch syndrome among all newly diagnosed endometrial cancer patients. Two additional deleterious MSH6 gene mutations were found on completion of molecular analysis in the last 19 patients. In addition, RNA studies have allowed the reclassification of one of the presumptive missense mutations c.1304T>C (p.Leu435P...
Mice carrying a null mutation in the mismatch repair gene Msh6 were generated by gene targeting. Cells that were homozygous for the mutation did not produce any detectable MSH6 protein, and extracts prepared from these cells were defective for repair of single nucleotide mismatches. Repair of 1, 2, and 4 nucleotide insertion/deletion mismatches was unaffected. Mice that were homozygous for the ...
Repair of mismatches in DNA in mammalian cells is mediated by a complex of proteins that are members of two highly conserved families of genes referred to as MutS and MutL homologues. Germline mutations in several members of these families, MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, and PMS2, but not MSH3, are responsible for hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer. To examine the role of MSH3, we generated a mouse ...
Mismatch repair proteins modulate the cytotoxicity of several chemotherapeutic agents. We have recently proposed a "death conformation" of the MutS homologous proteins that is distinguishable from their "repair conformation." This conformation can be induced by a small molecule, reserpine, leading to DNA-independent cell death. We investigated the parameters for a small reserpine-like molecule ...
DNA-binding proteins search for specific targets via facilitated diffusion along a crowded genome. However, little is known about how crowded DNA modulates facilitated diffusion and target recognition. Here we use DNA curtains and single-molecule fluorescence imaging to investigate how Msh2-Msh3, a eukaryotic mismatch repair complex, navigates on crowded DNA. Msh2-Msh3 hops over nucleosomes and...
سابقه و هدف: بیشتر سرطانهای کولون از پولیپ‌های خوش‌خیم منشاء می‌گیرند. با پیشرفت آهسته و مرحله به مرحله بافت‌شناسی پولیپ‌های آدنوماتوز و آدنوم serrated به آدنوکارسینوم و سرطان بدخیم تبدیل می‌شوند. تغییرات ژنتیکی و اپی‌ژنتیک با مراحل خاصی از پیشرفت پولیپ به آدنوکارسینوم و نیز تغییرات بافت‌شناسی در سرطان کولون ارتباط دارد. در این مطالعه، با استفاده از رنگ‌آمیزی immunohistochemistry (IHC) در پولیپ...
OBJECTIVES The outcome of patients with primary melanoma (PM) cannot be completely explained based on currently adopted clinical-histopathologic criteria. In this study, we evaluated the potential prognostic value of mismatch repair protein expression in PMs. METHODS We examined the immunohistochemical staining of mismatch repair proteins in 18 benign nevi and 101 stage I to III PMs and inves...
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant disease with high penetrance, caused by germline mutations in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2 and MLH3. Most reported pathogenic mutations are point mutations, comprising single base substitutions, small insertions and deletions. In addition, genomic rearrangements, such as large deletions and dupl...
Abstract: Lynch syndrome (LS), the most frequent form of hereditary colorectal cancer, involves mutations in mismatch repair genes. The aim of this study was to identify mutations in MSH6 from 97 subjects negative for mutations in MLH1 and MSH2. By direct sequencing, we identified 27 MSH6 variants, of which, nine were novel. To verify the pathogenicity of these novel variants, we performed in s...
Alkylation-induced O(6)-methylguanine (O(6)MeG) DNA lesions can be mutagenic or cytotoxic if unrepaired by the O(6)MeG-DNA methyltransferase (Mgmt) protein. O(6)MeG pairs with T during DNA replication, and if the O(6)MeG:T mismatch persists, a G:C to A:T transition mutation is fixed at the next replication cycle. O(6)MeG:T mismatch detection by MutSalpha and MutLalpha leads to apoptotic cell de...
