MATERIALS AND METHODS Strains and culture conditions. Strains and plasmids used in
this study are listed in Table 1. Unless otherwise indicated, all Acinetobacter cultures were …

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 mismatch repair system is involved in the maintenance of genomic integrity by editing
DNA replication and recombination. However, although most mutations are neutral or …

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 …

A vital process in maintaining a low genetic error rate is the removal of mismatched bases in
DNA. The importance of this process in E. coli is demonstrated by the 100–1000 fold …

Defects in the human mismatch repair (MMR) genes are the cause of Lynch syndrome as
well as 10-40% of sporadic colorectal, gastric, endometrial, ovarian, and upper urinary tract …

The Dam-directed post-replicatve mismatch repair system of Escherichia coli removes base
pair mismatches from DNA. The products of the mutH, mut and mutS genes, among others …

The process of mismatch repair was first postulated to explain the results of experiments on
genetic recombination and bacterial mutagenesis. Mismatch repair has long been known to …

DNA base pair mismatches arise as a consequence of several genetic processes, and the
correction of mispaired bases is essential for maintaining genome stability. Mismatch repair …

''Are adaptive mutations due to a decline in mismatch repair? The evidence is lacking''. The
Commentary argues that no evidence exists supporting the idea that mismatch repair is …
