MutL sliding clamps coordinate exonuclease-independent Escherichia coli mismatch repair

The mechanics of MMR strand specific excision that begins at a distant ssDNA break are not yet clear. Here the authors have used multiple single molecule imaging techniques to visualize the behavior of MMR components on mismatched DNA substrates and reveal an exonuclease-independent mechanism for E....
