PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a region of homology with other MutS or MutL homologs, comprising a region of 150 aminoacids encompassing
	a putative helix-turn-helix domain associated with an adenine nucleotide and magnesium binding sites

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	correctin of base-base mismatches and insertion-deletion loops resulting from DNA replication and recombination events
	possessing an intrinsic low-level ATPase actvity
	play a far more important role in Lynch syndrome than initially thought
	its endonuclease activity has distinct biological functions and is essential for genome maintenance and tumor suppression
	endonuclease function of PMS2 does not play an essential role in meiosis, but it is possible that the protein also contributes to checkpoint-signaling pathways during premeiotic S-phase and spermatogenesis

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell cycle,division,meiosis
	nucleotide, repair, mismatch repair
