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 ...

Introduction Biallelic mismatch repair deficiency or constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD) is a rare and aggressive pediatric cancer predisposition syndrome that occurs as a result of homozygous (biallelic) pathogenic variants in ...

Background The aim of the study was to evaluate potential chemotherapy-induced microsatellite instability, loss of heterozygosity, loss of expression in mismatch repair proteins and associations with clinical findings in breast cancer patients ...

Strand asymmetry influences mismatch resolution during a single-strand annealing
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 ...

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

Different roles of eukaryotic MutS and MutL complexes in repair of small insertion and deletion loops in yeast. [PDF]
DNA mismatch repair greatly increases genome fidelity by recognizing and removing replication errors. In order to understand how this fidelity is maintained, it is important to uncover the relative specificities of the different components of mismatch ...

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for mismatch repair (MMR) proteins is used to identify MMR status: being diffusely positive (intact/retained nuclear staining) or showing loss of nuclear tumour staining (MMR protein deficient). Four colonic adenocarcinomas and
