Measurement of DNA mismatch repair activity in live cells
7 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Loss of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) function leads to the development and progression of certain cancers. Currently, assays for DNA MMR activity involve the use of cell extracts and are technically challenging and costly. Here, we report a rapid, less labor-intensive method that can quantitatively measure MMR activity in live cells. A G-G or T-G mismatch was introduced into the ATG start codon of the enhanced green...
