Abstract: The invention discloses three human DNA repair proteins and DNA (RNA) encoding such proteins and a procedure for producing such proteins by recombinant techniques. One of the human DNA repair proteins, hMLH1, has been mapped to chromosome 3 while hMLH2 has been mapped to chromosome 2 and hMLH3 has been mapped to chromosome 7. The polynucleotide sequences of the DNA repair proteins may be used for therapeutic and diagnostic treatments of a hereditary susceptibility to cancer.

Abstract: Disclosed is a human is a hTopI-&agr; polypeptide and DNA (RNA) encoding such hTopI-&agr; polypeptide. Also provided is a procedure for producing such polypeptide by recombinant techniques and antibodies and antagonists against such polypeptide. Also provided are methods of using the antibodies and antagonist inhibitors to inhibit the action of hTopI-&agr; for therapeutic purposes such as an antitumor agent, to detect an autoimmune disease, or retroviral infections and to treat adenocarcinoma of the colon. Diagnostic methods for detecting mutations in the coding sequence and alterations in the concentration of the polypeptides in a sample derived from a host are also disclosed.
