Construction of Fluorescently-Tagged and Adenosine Nucleotide-Binding Mutations of the Human MutS Homolog Heterodimer MSH2-MSH3 [PDF]
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is a highly conserved system for correcting mispaired nucleotides arising from misincorporation errors during DNA replication, genetic recombination, and chemical or physical damage.

Downregulation of SPTAN1 is related to MLH1 deficiency and metastasis in colorectal cancer.
IntroductionColorectal cancers (CRCs) deficient in the DNA mismatch repair protein MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) display distinct clinicopathological features and require a different therapeutic approach compared to CRCs with MLH1 proficiency.

Malignant ovarian germ cell tumor subtypes exhibit distinct tumor microenvironments. Dysgerminomas harbor abundant nonexhausted T cells, with progenitor exhausted T cells present in 60% of PD‐1–positive cases. However, MHC class I expression is lost across all analyzed subtypes, suggesting that restoring class I expression in dysgerminomas may enhance ...

The Nucleotide Excision Repair Pathway Protects Borrelia burgdorferi from Nitrosative Stress in Ixodes scapularis Ticks [PDF]
The Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi encounters a wide range of environmental conditions as it cycles between ticks of the genus Ixodes and its various mammalian hosts.

Ex Vivo Spatiotemporal Characterization of Spermatogenesis in Mouse Testicular Organoids
To date, in vitro spermatogenesis remains a challenge in reproductive medicine. In this study, Sun et al. developed a promising in vitro strategy to generate testicular organoids that enable germ cells from newborn mice to enter meiosis, complete chromosome recombination and synapsis, and develop into haploid spermatids.

Functional Characterization of MutS Homologue Mismatch Repair Proteins and their Variants [PDF]
Lynch syndrome (LS) is one of the most common hereditary cancer syndromes and may lead to cancer development, mainly in colon or in endometrium, for 20 years earlier than in general population. LS is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder, associated

Mismatch repair protein MLH1 suppresses replicative stress in BRCA2-deficient breast tumors
Loss of BRCA2 (breast cancer 2) is lethal for normal cells. Yet it remains poorly understood how, in BRCA2 mutation carriers, cells undergoing loss of heterozygosity overcome the lethality and undergo tissue-specific neoplastic transformation.

Transcriptome sequencing of Crucihimalaya himalaica (Brassicaceae) reveals how Arabidopsis close relative adapt to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]
The extreme environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) provides an ideal natural laboratory for studies on adaptive evolution. Few genome/transcriptome based studies have been conducted on how plants adapt to the environments of QTP compared to ...

Mismatch repair protein expression in patients with stage II and III sporadic colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) may be classified according to the level of microsatellite instability exhibited by the tumor. The malignant transformation of normal colonic mucosae to carcinomas may be accelerated by the loss or inactivation of DNA mismatch ...

The properties of Msh2-Msh6 ATP binding mutants suggest a signal amplification mechanism in DNA mismatch repair. [PDF]
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) corrects mispaired DNA bases and small insertion/deletion loops generated by DNA replication errors. After binding a mispair, the eukaryotic mispair recognition complex Msh2-Msh6 binds ATP in both of its nucleotide-binding sites,
