"MutLalpha: at the cutting edge of mismatch repair." |

Pubmed ID: 16873053
Abstract:
| The mismatch repair process corrects errors in newly synthesized DNA. In this issue, Modrich and colleagues (Kadyrov et al., 2006) show that a component of the human mismatch repair machinery, MutLalpha, has endonuclease activity. MutLalpha introduces single-strand breaks near the mismatch and thus generates new entry points for the exonuclease EXOI to degrade the strand containing the mismatch. |
