MUTS homolog 2 | Brief Description | MUTS homolog 2 |
TAIR Computational Description | MUTS homolog 2;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a DNA mismatch repair homolog of human MutS gene, MSH6. MSH2 is involved in maintaining genome stability and repressing recombination of mismatched heteroduplexes.There are four MutS genes in Arabidopsis, MSH2, MSH3, MSH6, and MSH7, which all act as heterodimers and bind to 51-mer duplexes. MSH2 has different binding specificity to different mismatches in combination with MSH3, MSH6, or MSH7. |
