title: Replication factors license exonuclease I in mismatch repair.
abstract: A key question in the eukaryotic mismatch repair field is how strand excision is coordinated with mismatch recognition. In a recent issue of Molecular Cell, Dzantiev et al. present evidence that the replication factors PCNA and RFC modulate the directionality of EXOI-mediated excision.
