Additional Names:
DNA mismatch repair protein Msh6;G/T mismatch-binding protein;GTBP;GTMBP;HNPCC5;HSAP;MMRCS3;mutS protein homolog 6;mutS-alpha 160 kDa subunit;p160;sperm-associated protein.
Extra Details:
Component of the post-replicative DNA mismatch repair system (MMR). Heterodimerizes with MSH2 to form MutS alpha; which binds to DNA mismatches thereby initiating DNA repair. When bound; MutS alpha bends the DNA helix and shields approximately 20 base pairs; and recognizes single base mismatches and dinucleotide insertion-deletion loops (IDL) in the DNA. After mismatch binding; forms a ternary complex with the MutL alpha heterodimer; which is thought to be responsible for directing the downstream MMR events; including strand discrimination; excision; and resynthesis. ATP binding and hydrolysis play a pivotal role in mismatch repair functions. The ATPase activity associated with MutS alpha regulates binding similar to a molecular switch: mismatched DNA provokes ADP-->ATP exchange; resulting in a discernible conformational transition that converts MutS alpha into a sliding clamp capable of hydrolysis-independent diffusion along the DNA backbone. This transition is crucial for mismatch repair. MutS alpha may also play a role in DNA homologous recombination repair. Recruited on chromatin in G1 and early S phase via its PWWP domain that specifically binds trimethylated 'Lys-36' of histone H3 (H3K36me3): early recruitment to chromatin to be replicated allowing a quick identification of mismatch repair to initiate the DNA mismatch repair reaction.
