Abstract excerpt
In human cells, large DNA loop heterologies are repaired through a nick-directed pathway independent of mismatch repair. However, a 3'-nick generated by bacteriophage fd gene II protein heterology is not capable of stimulating loop repair. To evaluate the possibility that a mismatch near a loop could induce both repair types in human cell extracts, we constructed and tested a set of DNA heteroduplexes, each of...
