DNA alkylation tolerance is a major concern in cancer chemotherapy. It has been suggested that mutations in DNA mismatch repair genes may result in alkylation tolerance. This alkylation tolerant phenotype is often manifested in cells lacking an O(6)-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MTase) activity. However, deletion of each mismatch repair gene in the MTase mutant of a model eukaryotic yeast does not result...
