摘要: DNA-binding proteins search for specific targets via facilitated diffusion along a crowded genome. However, little is known about how DNA modulates and target recognition. Here we use curtains single-molecule fluorescence imaging to investigate Msh2-Msh3, eukaryotic mismatch repair complex, navigates on DNA. Msh2-Msh3 hops over nucleosomes other protein roadblocks, but maintains sufficient contact with recognize single lesion. In contrast, Msh2-Msh6 slides without hopping largely blocked by roadblocks. Remarkably, the Msh3-specific mispair-binding domain (MBD) licences chimeric Msh2-Msh6(3MBD) bypass nucleosomes. Our studies contrast navigate genome suggest locates lesions outside of replication-coupled repair. These results also provide insights into factors in context chromatin.
