Human Mismatch Repair Protein hMutLα Is Required to Repair Short Slipped-DNAs of Trinucleotide Repeats
20 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Mismatch repair (MMR) is required for proper maintenance of the genome by protecting against mutations. The mismatch repair system has also been implicated as a driver of certain mutations, including disease-associated trinucleotide repeat instability. We recently revealed a requirement of hMutSβ in the repair of short slip-outs containing a single CTG repeat unit (1). The involvement of other MMR proteins in...
