Abstract excerpt
The influence of mutations in the 3' to 5' exonucleolytic proofreading epsilon-subunit of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III on the genetic instabilities of the CGG.CCG and the CTG.CAG repeats that cause human hereditary neurological diseases was investigated. The dnaQ49(ts) and the mutD5 mutations destabilize the CGG.CCG repeats. The distributions of the deletion products indicate that slipped structures...
