The MutSα-Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen Interaction in Human DNA Mismatch Repair
9 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
We have examined the interaction parameters, conformation, and functional significance of the human MutSalpha(.) proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) complex in mismatch repair. The two proteins associate with a 1:1 stoichiometry and a K(D) of 0.7 microm in the absence or presence of heteroduplex DNA. PCNA does not influence the affinity of MutSalpha for a mismatch, and mismatch-bound MutSalpha binds PCNA....
