DNA mismatch repair protein Msh6; hMSH6; mutS-alpha 160 kD subunit; p160; G/T mismatch-binding protein; GTMBP; GTBP (MSH6 GTBP)

Function: - component of the post-replicative DNA mismatch repair system (MMR) - recognizes base-pair mismatches, particularly G/T - heterodimerizes with MSH2 to form mutS alpha, which binds to DNA mismatches thereby initiating DNA repair - when bound, mutS alpha bends the DNA helix & shields approximately 20 base pairs, & recognizes single base mismatches & 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, & resynthesis - ATP binding & 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 - the N-terminus is blocked - phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR - phosphorylated by PRKCZ, which may prevent mutS alpha degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway - heterodimer consisting of MSH2-MSH6 (mutS alpha) - forms a ternary complex with mutL alpha (MLH1-PMS1) - interacts with EXO1 - part of the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC) - this association could be a dynamic process changing throughout the cell cycle & within subnuclear domains. - interacts with ATR Structure: - belongs to the DNA mismatch repair mutS family - contains 1 PWWP domain Compartment: nucleus Alternative splicing: - named isoforms=2 - GTBP-N, TBP-alt Pathology: - defects in MSH6 are the cause of a) hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer type 5 b) susceptibility to endometrial cancer [MIM:608089]
