Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli methyl-directed mismatch repair eliminates premutagenic lesions that arise via DNA biosynthetic errors; components of the repair system also block ectopic recombination between diverged DNA sequences. A mismatch-dependent, methyl-directed excision reaction that accounts for function of the system in replication fidelity has been reconstituted in a purified system dependent on ten activities. The...
