Decoding the Histone Code: Role of H3K36me3 in Mismatch Repair and Implications for Cancer Susceptibility and Therapy
22 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) maintains genome stability primarily by correcting replication-associated mismatches. Defects in MMR lead to several human cancers characterized by frequent alterations in simple repetitive DNA sequences, a phenomenon called microsatellite instability (MSI). In most MSI-positive cancers, genetic or epigenetic changes that alter the function or expression of an essential MMR protein have...
