Abstract excerpt
EXO1 interacts with MSH2 and MLH1 and has been proposed to be a redundant exonuclease that functions in mismatch repair (MMR). To better understand the role of EXO1 in mismatch repair, a genetic screen was performed to identify mutations that increase the mutation rates caused by weak mutator mutations such as exo1Delta and pms1-A130V mutations. In a screen starting with an exo1 mutation, exo1-dependent mutator...
