Mismatch binding, ADP-ATP exchange and intramolecular signaling during mismatch repair.


ABSTRACT: The focus of this article is on the DNA binding and ATPase activities of the mismatch repair (MMR) protein, MutS-our current understanding of how this protein uses ATP to fuel its actions on DNA and initiate repair via interactions with MutL, the next protein in the pathway. Structure-function and kinetic studies have yielded detailed views of the MutS mechanism of action in MMR. How MutS and MutL work together after mismatch recognition to enable strand-specific nicking, which leads to strand excision and synthesis, is less clear and remains an active area of investigation.
