Name | homolog of DNA mismatch repair protein MSH3 | Brief Description | homolog of DNA mismatch repair protein MSH3 |
TAIR Computational Description | homolog of DNA mismatch repair protein MSH3;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | encodes a DNA mismatch repair homolog of human MutS gene, MSH6. There are four MutS genes in Arabidopsis, MSH2, MSH3, MSH6, and MSH7, which all act as heterodimers and bind to 51-mer duplexes. MSH2*MSH3 heterodimers bound 'insertion-deletion' DNA with three nucleotides (+AAG) or one nucleotide (+T) looped out much better than they bound DNA with a base/base mispair (T/G). |
