MutL protein as a constituent of vsp, ner and mmr repair systems
PublikacjaMutS and MutL proteins are renowned mostly for their functions in well-characterized, post-DNA replication mis- match repair system (MMR). However, there is growing evidence that MMR system is not the only field of action for these pro- teins. Moreover, the participation in MMR does not even have to be their primary function. There are some reports indicat- ing involvement of MutL in BER, NER and VSP (very short patch repair)....
