DNA mismatch repair in cancer immunotherapy. [PDF]
NAR Cancer, 2023 Abstract Tumors defective in DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) exhibit microsatellite instability (MSI). Currently, patients with dMMR tumors are benefitted from anti-PD-1/PDL1-based immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. Over the past several years, great progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms by which dMMR tumors respond ...

Action-At-A-Distance in DNA Mismatch Repair: Mechanistic Insights and Models for How DNA and Repair Proteins Facilitate Long-Range Communication [PDF]
BiomoleculesMany DNA metabolic pathways, including DNA repair, require the transmission of signals across long stretches of DNA or between DNA molecules. Solutions to this signaling challenge involve various mechanisms: protein factors can travel between these sites,

MRE11A: a novel negative regulator of human DNA mismatch repair [PDF]
Cellular & Molecular Biology LettersBackground DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is a highly conserved pathway that corrects DNA replication errors, the loss of which is attributed to the development of various types of cancers. Although well characterized, MMR factors remain to be identified.

ATP-Dependent Mismatch Recognition in DNA Replication Mismatch Repair
Quantum Reports, 2023 Mismatch repair is a critical step in DNA replication that occurs after base selection and proofreading, significantly increasing fidelity. However, the mechanism of mismatch recognition has not been established for any repair enzyme.

Annals of Oncology Research and Therapy, 2021 Mismatch repair genes are responsible for discovering and repairing base mismatches during DNA replication in cells. Defects in mismatch repair function will lead to accumulation of gene mutations, microsatellite instability, and ultimately tumorigenesis.

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2005 ▪ Abstract DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is an evolutionarily conserved process that corrects mismatches generated during DNA replication and escape proofreading. MMR proteins also participate in many other DNA transactions, such that inactivation of MMR can have wide-ranging biological consequences, which can be either beneficial or detrimental.

Prime editing efficiency and fidelity are enhanced in the absence of mismatch repair
Nature Communications, 2022 Prime Editing is a versatile genome engineering tool. Here, the authors identify the DNA repair pathway known as mismatch repair as inhibitory for Prime Editing, thus, loss of mismatch repair enhances the efficiency of Prime Editing.

Alleviation of C⋅C Mismatches in DNA by the Escherichia coli Fpg Protein
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 DNA polymerase III mis-insertion may, where not corrected by its 3′→ 5′ exonuclease or the mismatch repair (MMR) function, result in all possible non-cognate base pairs in DNA generating base substitutions.

Strand asymmetry influences mismatch resolution during a single-strand annealing
Genome Biology, 2022 Background Biases of DNA repair can shape the nucleotide landscape of genomes at evolutionary timescales. The molecular mechanisms of those biases are still poorly understood because it is difficult to isolate the contributions of DNA repair from those ...
