Abstract excerpt
DNA mismatch repair suppresses gastrointestinal tumorgenesis. Four mammalian E. coli MutL homologues heterodimerize to form three distinct complexes: MLH1/PMS2, MLH1/MLH3, and MLH1/PMS1. To understand the mechanistic contributions of MLH3 and PMS2 in gastrointestinal tumor suppression, we generated Mlh3(-/-);Apc(1638N) and Mlh3(-/-);Pms2(-/-);Apc(1638N) (MPA) mice. Mlh3 nullizygosity significantly increased Apc...
