Mismatch repair interactome and mutagenesis (MIRIAM)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

"The mismatch repair (MMR) system has evolved to correct errors of DNA replication and prevent recombination between non-homologous sequences. Correspondingly, MMR malfunction leads to increased mutation rates and illegitimate recombination, and individuals with inherited MMR gene mutations are predisposed to cancer of the colon and other organs. However, MMR has recently been implicated in proces ...

Mismatch2model: Characterization and quantitative modeling of DNA mismatch repair and its role in the maintenance of genomic stability and cancer avoidance DNA mismatch repair (MMR) plays a crucial role in the maintenance of genomic stability. In both bacteria and eukaryotes, the loss of mismatch repair gives rise to a mutator phenotype. In hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) families, ...
