Cancer cells harbor genomic instability due to accumulated DNA damage, one of the cancer hallmarks. At least five major DNA Damage Repair (DDR) pathways are recognized to repair DNA damages during different stages of the cell cycle, comprehending base ...

Downregulation of both mismatch repair and non-homologous end-joining pathways in hypoxic brain tumour cell lines [PDF]
Glioblastoma, a grade IV astrocytoma, has a poor survival rate in part due to ineffective treatment options available. These tumours are heterogeneous with areas of low oxygen levels, termed hypoxic regions.

EGFR inhibits DNA mismatch repair [PDF]
Safeguarding the integrity of the genome should not be left to chance. Indeed, all organisms have highly effective mechanisms to detect and remove errors and lesions in DNA. DNA mismatch repair (MMR) serves as the final safeguard in assuring the fidelity of DNA replication from bacteria to humans and backstops the nucleotide selection and exonuclease ...

We recently found that DNA repair-related gene expression could be altered by reprogramming as well as the increased expression of genes that accurately convey genomic information, such as homologous recombination (HR) and mismatch repair (MMR), and the ...

DNA mismatch repair and infertility [PDF]
To highlight the significance of the abnormal DNA repair mechanism in male infertility.DNA repair defects cause a variety of spermatogenic defects in mouse models. Evidence is accumulating to demonstrate the importance of DNA repair defects in human nonobstructive azoospermia.

An Msh3 ATPase domain mutation has no effect on MMR function
Objective To demonstrate that the Msh3 ATPase domain is required for DNA mismatch repair and tumor suppression in a murine model. Results The DNA mismatch repair proteins are members of the ABC family of ATPases.

DNA mismatch repair (MMR) corrects replication errors in newly synthesized DNA. It also has an antirecombination action on heteroduplexes that contain similar but not identical sequences. This review focuses on the genetics and development of MMR and not on the latest biochemical mechanisms.

Sensing and Processing of DNA Interstrand Crosslinks by the Mismatch Repair Pathway
Summary: DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) that are repaired in non-dividing cells must be recognized independently of replication-associated DNA unwinding. Using cell-free extracts from Xenopus eggs that support neither replication nor transcription, we

Escherichia coli frameshift mutation rate depends on the chromosomal context but not on the GATC content near the mutation site. [PDF]
Different studies have suggested that mutation rate varies at different positions in the genome. In this work we analyzed if the chromosomal context and/or the presence of GATC sites can affect the frameshift mutation rate in the Escherichia coli genome.
