Abstract excerpt
In eukaryotes, homologs of the bacterial MutS and MutL proteins function in DNA mismatch repair and recombination pathways. The mutL homolog MLH1 is required for nuclear mismatch repair. Previously, cytological analysis of MLH1-deficient mice has implied a role for Mlh1 in crossing-over during meiosis. Here we demonstrate that Saccharomyces cerevisiae diploids containing a deletion of MLH1 have reduced...
