Mismatch Repair-dependent Iterative Excision at Irreparable O6-Methylguanine Lesions in Human Nuclear Extracts
14 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
The response of mammalian cells to Sn1 DNA methylators depends on functional MutSalpha and MutLalpha. Cells deficient in either of these activities are resistant to the cytotoxic effects of this class of chemotherapeutic drug. Because killing by Sn1 methylators has been attributed to O6-methylguanine (MeG), we have constructed nicked circular heteroduplexes that contain a single MeG-T mispair, and we have...
