Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli methylation-independent repair pathway specific for A/G mismatches has been shown to require the gene product of micA. Extracts prepared from micA mutants do not form an A/G mismatch-specific DNA-protein complex and do not contain an A/G mismatch-specific nicking activity. Mo...
