Abstract excerpt
The MutL family of mismatch repair proteins belongs to the GHKL class of ATPases, which contains also type II topoisomerases, HSP90, and histidine kinases. The nucleotide binding domains of these polypeptides are highly conserved, but this similarity has failed to help us understand the biological role of the ATPase activity of the MutL proteins in mismatch repair. hMutLalpha is a heterodimer of the human MutL...
