Signalling cell cycle arrest and cell death through the MMR System
6 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Loss of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) in mammalian cells, as well as having a causative role in cancer, has been linked to resistance to certain DNA damaging agents including clinically important cytotoxic chemotherapeutics. MMR-deficient cells exhibit defects in G2/M cell cycle arrest and cell killing when treated with these agents. MMR-dependent cell cycle arrest occurs, at least for low doses of alkylating agents,...
