摘要: Escherichia coli MutS forms a mispair-dependent ternary complex with MutL that is essential for initiating mismatch repair (MMR) but structurally uncharacterized, in part owing to its dynamic nature. Here, we used hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and other methods identify region the connector domain (domain II) of binds required formation MMR. A conserved Msh2, eukaryotic homolog, was Msh2–Msh6–Mlh1–Pms1 complex. These data indicate Msh2 contains interface binding Mlh1–Pms1, respectively, support mechanism whereby mispair ATP induces conformational change allows interfaces interact their partners.
