Evidence for interplay among yeast replicative DNA polymerases alpha, delta and epsilon from studies of exonuclease and polymerase active site mutations

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2004
Background DNA polymerase ε (Pol ε) is essential for S-phase replication, DNA damage repair and checkpoint control in yeast. A pol2-Y831A mutation leading to a tyrosine to alanine change in the Pol ε active site does not cause growth defects and confers ...

Utilization of microsatellites for the analysis of genomic alterations in colorectal cancers in Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997
Two different pathogenetic mechanisms are proposed for colorectal cancers. One, the so-called "classic pathway", is the most common and depends on multiple additive mutational events (germline and/or somatic) in tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes ...

Low doses of gamma ionizing radiation increase hprt mutant frequencies of TK6 cells without triggering the mutator phenotype pathway

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2006
The TK6 lymphoblastoid cell line is known to be mismatch repair (MMR) and p53 proficient. Deficiency in MMR results in a mutator phenotype characterized by microsatellite instability (MSI) and increased hprt mutant frequency (MF).

Are There Mutator Polymerases?

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2003
DNA polymerases are involved in different cellular events, including genome replication and DNA repair. In the last few years, a large number of novel DNA polymerases have been discovered, and the biochemical analysis of their properties has revealed a ...

Mutation of knots [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1989
The author observes that if k is an oriented knot in the three-sphere and \(k'\) is obtained from k by reversing its orientation, then the connected sums \(k+k\) and \(k+k'\) are mutants of each other. For appropriate choices of k this observation yields pairs of mutant knots which are not concordant or have nonisomorphic Alexander modules.

A new conceptual framework for investigating complex genetic disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2015
Some common diseases are known to have an inherited component, however their population- and familial-incidence patterns do not conform to any known monogenic Mendelian pattern of inheritance and instead they are currently much better explained if an ...

Molecular characterization of a rice mutator-phenotype derived from an incompatible cross-pollination reveals transgenerational mobilization of multiple transposable elements and extensive epigenetic instability

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background Inter-specific hybridization occurs frequently in plants, which may induce genetic and epigenetic instabilities in the resultant hybrids, allopolyploids and introgressants.

The protist Trichomonas vaginalis harbors multiple lineages of transcriptionally active Mutator-like elements

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2009
Background For three decades the Mutator system was thought to be exclusive of plants, until the first homolog representatives were characterized in fungi and in early-diverging amoebas earlier in this decade.
