Abstract
We show that the MutY protein competes with the MutS-dependent mismatch repair system to process at least some A. C mispairs in vivo, converting them to G. C pairs. In the presence of an increased dCTP pool resulting from the loss of nucleotide diphosphate kinase, the frequency of A. T-->G. C transitions at a hot spot in the rpoB gene is 30-fold lower in a MutY-deficient derivative than in the wild type.Entities:
