PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • region of homology with other MutS or MutL homologs, comprising a region of 150 aminoacids
  • a putative helix-turn-helix domain associated with an adenine nucleotide and magnesium binding site
    • mono polymer heteromer , dimer
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to yeast mutator gene (bacterial mutL)
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • DNA mismatch repair mutL/hexB family
    • CATEGORY DNA associated
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • correcting of base-base mismatches and insertion-deletion loops resulting from DNA replication and recombination events
  • possessing an intrinsic low-level ATPase activity
  • TEX11, testis expressed gene 15 (TEX15), mutL homolog 1 (MLH1), and homolog 3 (MLH3), play critical roles in genome integrity, meiotic recombination, and gametogenesis
    • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle
    nucleotide, repair, mismatch repair

    mismatch repair
    a component
  • heterodimers with MLH3, PMS1, PMS2
  • part of the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC)
    • INTERACTION

    Susceptibility
  • to inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn, ulcerative colitis)
  • to prostate cancer
    • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • a protective role for the codon 384 variant allele against prostate cancer
  • rare genetic variants that confer a high risk of prostate cancer when mutated
