Role of mutS and mutL genes in hypermutability and recombination in Staphylococcus aureus.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 May 2005

Prunier Anne-Laure, Leclercq Roland

Abstract excerpt

The mutator phenotype has been linked in several bacterial genera to a defect in the methyl-mismatch repair system, in which the major components are MutS and MutL. This system is involved both in mismatch repair and in prevention of recombination between homeologous fragments in Escherichia coli and has been shown to play an important role in the adaptation of bacterial populations in changing and stressful...
