Rad27 and Exo1 function in different excision pathways for mismatch repair in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Defects in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) have been linked to inherited and sporadic cancers. Here the authors demonstrate that the DNA repair protein Rad27 (human FEN1) functions in one of three redundant mispair excision pathways, where its flap endonuclease activity catalyzes mispair excision.
