hMutSα- and hMutLα-dependent phosphorylation of p53 in response to DNA methylator damage
26 Oct 1999
Abstract excerpt
hMSH2.hMSH6 heterodimer (hMutSalpha) and hMLH1.hPMS2 complex (hMutLalpha) have been implicated in the cytotoxic response of mammalian cells to a number of DNA-damaging compounds, including methylating agents that produce O(6)-methylguanine (O(6)MeG) adducts. This study demonstrates that O(6)MeG lesions, in which the damaged base is paired with either T or C, are subject to excision repair in a reaction that...
