Mismatch repair genes of Streptococcus pneumoniae: HexA confers a mutator phenotype in Escherichia coli by negative complementation.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1991

Prudhomme M, Méjean V, Martin B, Claverys J P

Abstract excerpt

DNA repair systems able to correct base pair mismatches within newly replicated DNA or within heteroduplex molecules produced during recombination are widespread among living organisms. Evidence that such generalized mismatch repair systems evolved from a common ancestor is particularly strong fo...
