Differential Requirement for Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen in 5′ and 3′ Nick-directed Excision in Human Mismatch Repair
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is involved in mammalian mismatch repair at a step prior to or at mismatch excision, but the molecular mechanism of this process is not fully understood. To examine the role of PCNA in mismatch-provoked and nick-directed excision, orientation-specific mismatch removal of heteroduplexes with a pre-existing nick was monitored in human nuclear extracts supplemented with the...
