Abstract excerpt
Methyl-directed mismatch repair is initiated by the mismatch-provoked, MutHLS-dependent cleavage of the unmodified strand at a hemimethylated d(GATC) sequence. This reaction is independent of the polarity of the unmodified strand and can occur either 3' or 5' to the mismatch on the unmethylated strand (Au, K. G., Welsh, K., and Modrich, P. (1992) J. Biol. Chem. 267, 12142-12148). The overall repair reaction also...
