MutSβ exceeds MutSα in dinucleotide loop repair
16 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The target substrates of DNA mismatch recognising factors MutSalpha (MSH2+MSH6) and MutSbeta (MSH2+MSH3) have already been widely researched. However, the extent of their functional redundancy and clinical substance remains unclear. Mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient tumours are strongly associated with microsatellite instability (MSI) and the degree and type of MSI seem to be dependent on the MMR gene...
