Human Mismatch Repair Protein MSH6 Contains a PWWP Domain That Targets Double Stranded DNA

Abstract excerpt

The eukaryotic mismatch repair (MMR) protein MSH6 exhibits a core region structurally and functionally similar to bacterial MutS. However, it possesses an additional N-terminal region (NTR), comprising a PCNA binding motif, a large region of unknown function and a nonspecific DNA binding fragment. Yeast NTR was recently described as an extended tether between PCNA and the core of MSH6 . In contrast, we show that...
