DNA mismatch repair (MMR) plays a vital role in the faithful replication of DNA, and its inactivation leads to a mutator phenotype that has been associated with the common cancer susceptibility syndrome Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC). Here, we report on a novel human exonuclease (hExoI) that is related to the yeast exonuclease 1. The hExoI cDNA comprises 2541 bp, which code for a Mr 94,000 protein that appears to be highly expressed in testis tissue and at very low levels in other tissues. The hExoI gene has 14 exons and is located on chromosome 1q43, as determined by fluorescence in situ hybridization and radiation hybrid mapping. hExoI was found to interact strongly with the human MMR protein hMSH2, suggesting its involvement in the MMR process and/or DNA recombination.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
