Abstract excerpt
Bcl-2 stimulates mutagenesis after the exposure of cells to DNA-damaging agents. However, the biological mechanisms of Bcl-2-mediated mutagenesis have remained largely obscure. Here we demonstrate that the Bcl-2-mediated suppression of hMSH2 expression results in a reduced cellular capacity to repair mismatches. The pathway linking Bcl-2 expression to the suppression of mismatch repair (MMR) activity involves the...
