Abstract excerpt
Bacterial MutS homodimers contain two ATPase active sites that have non-equivalent functions in DNA mismatch repair. The homologous Msh2-Msh6 complex in eukaryotes also has intrinsic ATPase activity that is essential for mismatch repair. Here, we investigate differences in the two putative ATPase active sites by examining the properties of heterodimers containing alanine substituted for an invariant glutamic acid...
