Description : (at3g24495 : 184.0) 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*MSH7 exhibit moderate affinity for a (T/G) substrate and weak binding of (+T), suggesting MSH2*MSH7 may be specialized for lesions/base mispairs not tested or for (T/G) mispairs in special contexts.; MUTS homolog 7 (MSH7); FUNCTIONS IN: damaged DNA binding, mismatched DNA binding, ATP binding; INVOLVED IN: mismatch repair; EXPRESSED IN: 22 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 13 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: DNA mismatch repair protein MutS, connector (InterPro:IPR007860), DNA mismatch repair protein MutS, N-terminal (InterPro:IPR016151), DNA mismatch repair protein MutS, core (InterPro:IPR007696), DNA mismatch repair protein MutS, C-terminal (InterPro:IPR000432), DNA mismatch repair protein MutS-homologue MSH6 (InterPro:IPR015536), DNA mismatch repair protein MutS-like, N-terminal (InterPro:IPR007695); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: MUTS homolog 6 (TAIR:AT4G02070.2); Has 17871 Blast hits to 13835 proteins in 2667 species: Archae - 197; Bacteria - 11731; Metazoa - 1028; Fungi - 1274; Plants - 566; Viruses - 3; Other Eukaryotes - 3072 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 368.0) & (original description: no original description)
