Abstract excerpt
The mismatch repair (MMR) system, exemplified by the MutS/MutL proteins, is widespread in Bacteria and Eukarya. However, molecular mechanisms how numerous archaea and bacteria lacking the mutS/mutL genes maintain high replication fidelity and genome stability have remained elusive. EndoMS is a recently discovered hyperthermophilic mismatch-specific endonuclease encoded by nucS in Thermococcales. We deleted the...
