Spontaneous and enviornmental [sic] mutagenesis in mismatch repair deficient cells

Creator:: Shin-Darlak, Chi Y.
Abstract:: DNA damage, if not repaired, can become a mutation. Mutation accumulation is associated with initiation and progression of tumorigenesis. DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is required for maintaining genetic stability by repairing replication errors. Biochemical studies have shown that MMR also recognizes mismatch-causing DNA lesions, suggesting the role of MMR in...

Hypermutagenic induction of mitotic recombination by ionizing radiation in Mlhl null mouse cells

Creator:: Wang, Qi
Abstract:: Mitotic recombination is a common autosomal mutation in mammalian cells involving crossover events between homologous chromosomes. This process can convert a cell with a heterozygous deficiency to one with a homozygous deficiency, and thus often represents the second step in tumor suppressor gene inactivation. In this study I examined the...
