In prokaryotic mismatch repair the MutS protein and its homologs recognize the mismatches.
The mutS gene of naturally transformable Pseudomonas stutzeri ATCC 17587 (genomovar …

DNA mismatch repair in Escherichia coli has been shown to be involved in two distinct
processes: mutation avoidance, which removes potential mutations arising as replication …

An Escherichia coli K-12 strain was constructed with a chromosomal deletion (mutS Δ 800)
in the mutS gene that produced the removal of the C-terminal 53 amino acids which are not …

The genus Acinetobacter encompasses a heterogeneous group of bacteria that are
ubiquitous in the natural environment due in part to their ability to adapt genetically to novel …

The MutS family of DNA repair proteins recognizes base pair mismatches and
insertion/deletion mismatches and targets them for repair in a strand-specific manner …

The mismatch repair (MMR) system is one of the key molecular devices that prokaryotic cells
have for ensuring fidelity of DNA replication. While the canonical MMR of E. coli involves 3 …

The MutS protein of Escherichia coli is part of the dam-directed MutHLS mismatch repair
pathway which rectifies replication errors and which prevents recombination between …

We have used direct selections to generate large numbers of mutants of Escherichia coli
defective in the mismatch repair system and have screened these to identify mutants with …

Escherichia coli mutator mutD5 is the most potent mutator known. The mutD5 mutation
resides in the dnaQ gene encoding the proofreading exonuclease of DNA polymerase III …

MutS, a component of the mismatch repair system begins the DNA reparation process by
recognizing base/base mismatches or small insertion/deletion loops. We have cloned the …
