| Research Abstract |
The mismatch repair system corrects replication errors to protect genomic information from mutations. The mismatch repair system functions after DNA synthesis, at the time when chromatin reassembly takes place. However, the reactions required for mismatch repair to function in the context of chromatin remain elusive. We sought factors that are involved in the mismatch repair reaction in the chromatin context, and identified several candidate factors. Our study will contribute to further understanding of the eukaryotic mismatch repair reaction.
