Abstract excerpt
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is important for preventing base-pair substitutions caused by spontaneous or damage-related DNA polymerase errors. We have used a reversion assay based on mouse Aprt to investigate the role of MMR in preventing ultraviolet radiation (UV) and oxidative stress induced tandem CC --> TT base pair substitutions in cultured mammalian cells. The reversion construct used for this assay can...
