Functional Expression of hMYH, a Human Homolog of the <i>Escherichia coli</i> MutY Protein

Abstract excerpt

We have previously described the hMYH cDNA and genomic clones (M. M. Slupska et al., J. Bacteriol. 178:3885-3892, 1996). Here, we report that the enzyme expressed from an hMYH cDNA clone in Escherichia coli complements the mutator phenotype in a mutY mutant and can remove A from an A. 8-hydroxydeoxyguanine mismatch and to a lesser extent can remove A from an A. G mismatch in vitro.
