Abstract excerpt
O(6)-Methylguanine produced in DNA induces mutation due to its ambiguous base-pairing properties during DNA replication. To suppress such an outcome, organisms possess a mechanism to eliminate cells carrying O(6)-methylguanine by inducing apoptosis that requires the function of mismatch repair pr...
