Abstract excerpt
A number of mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains having phenotypes consistent with defects in DNA mismatch repair have been described, but not all have been extensively characterized. In this study we demonstrate that the pms2-1 and pms2-2 alleles arise from missense mutations in the MLH1 gene which inactivate MLH1. One of these alleles, pms2-2, causes the same amino acid substitution in a highly conserved...
