N‐terminus of hMLH1 confers interaction of hMutLα and hMutLβ with hMutSα [PDF]
Mismatch repair is a highly conserved system that ensures replication fidelity by repairing mispairs after DNA synthesis. In humans, the two protein heterodimers hMutSα (hMSH2‐hMSH6) and hMutLα (hMLH1‐hPMS2) constitute the centre of the repair reaction ...

Correlation of MLH1 and MGMT expression and promoter methylation with genomic instability in patients with thyroid carcinoma [PDF]
Background: Gene silencing of the repair genes MLH1 and MGMT was shown to be a mechanism underlying the development of microsatellite instability (MSI), a phenotype frequently associated with various human malignancies.

RNA‐based fusion panels using targeted next‐generation sequencing of formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded (FFPE) tumour tissue specimens have been used for a few years from patients with various tumour types to detect rearrangements/fusions. Using the bioinformatic approaches the data obtained from RNA sequencing (RNAseq) can also be used for small ...

Cloning of Rat MLH1 and Expression Analysis of MSH2, MSH3, MSH6, and MLH1 during Spermatogenesis
The mismatch repair system has been highly conserved in various species. In eukaryotic cells, the Mut S and Mut L homologues play crucial roles in both DNA mismatch repair and meiotic recombination. A full-length rat cDNA clone for rat MLH1 has been constructed using the RT-PCR method.

UBR2 of the N-end rule pathway is required for chromosome stability via histone ubiquitylation in spermatocytes and somatic cells [PDF]
The N-end rule pathway is a proteolytic system in which its recognition components (N-recognins) recognize destabilizing N-terminal residues of short-lived proteins as an essential element of specific degrons, called N-degrons.

Patients with genetic variants that increase skin cancer risk are recommended to undergo regular dermatology screenings per National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines, but compliance is uncertain. In a retrospective study of 230 patients with such variants, compliance with screening visits significantly improved after visiting a Hereditary Cancer

Highly sensitive MLH1 methylation analysis in blood identifies a cancer patient with low-level mosaic MLH1 epimutation [PDF]
AbstractConstitutionalMLH1methylation (epimutation) is a rare cause of Lynch syndrome. Low-level methylation (≤ 10%) has occasionally been described. This study aimed to identify low-level constitutionalMLH1epimutations and determine its causal role in patients withMLH1-hypermethylated colorectal cancer.Eighteen patients withMLH1-hypermethylated ...

The conserved XPF:ERCC1-like Zip2:Spo16 complex controls meiotic crossover formation through structure-specific DNA binding. [PDF]
In eukaryotic meiosis, generation of haploid gametes depends on the formation of inter-homolog crossovers, which enable the pairing, physical linkage, and eventual segregation of homologs in the meiosis I division.

Estradiol regulates miR-135b and mismatch repair gene expressions via estrogen receptor-β in colorectal cells. [PDF]
Estrogen has anti-colorectal cancer effects which are thought to be mediated by mismatch repair gene (MMR) activity. Estrogen receptor (ER) expression is associated with microRNA (miRNA) expression in ER-positive tumors.

ABSTRACT Colorectal cancer (CRC) has raised considerable health concerns worldwide, with increasing incidence rates, specifically among younger populations. Despite remarkable progress in diagnosing and treating various diseases, the genetic basis of CRC remains only partially understood.
