Abstract excerpt
The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system is a major DNA repair system that suppresses both inherited and sporadic cancers in humans. In eukaryotes, the MutSα-dependent and MutSβ-dependent MMR pathways correct DNA polymerase errors. Here, we investigated these two pathways on a whole genome level in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We found that inactivation of MutSα-dependent MMR increases the genome-wide mutation rate by...
