Both hMutSα and hMutSß DNA Mismatch Repair Complexes Participate in 5-Fluorouracil Cytotoxicity

BACKGROUND: Patients with advanced microsatellite unstable colorectal cancers do not show a survival benefit from 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy. We and others have shown that the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) complex hMutSα binds 5-FU incorporated into DNA. Although hMutSß is known to interac...
