Abstract excerpt
Modified bases, such as O6-methylguanines, are produced in cells exposed to alkylating agents and cause apoptosis. In human cells treated with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, we detected a protein complex composed of MutSalpha, MutLalpha and PCNA on damaged DNA by immunoprecipitation method using chromatin extracts, in which protein-protein interactions were stabilized by chemical crosslinking. Time course experiments...
