Crystal structures of mismatch repair protein MutS and its complex with a substrate DNA.

  ABSTRACT  
 
DNA mismatch repair is critical for increasing replication fidelity in organisms ranging from bacteria to humans. MutS protein, a member of the ABC ATPase superfamily, recognizes mispaired and unpaired bases in duplex DNA and initiates mismatch repair. Mutations in human MutS genes cause a predisposition to hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer as well as sporadic tumours. Here we report the crystal structures of a MutS protein and a complex of MutS with a heteroduplex DNA containing an unpaired base. The structures reveal the general architecture of members of the MutS family, an induced-fit mechanism of recognition between four domains of a MutS dimer and a heteroduplex kinked at the mismatch, a composite ATPase active site composed of residues from both MutS subunits, and a transmitter region connecting the mismatch-binding and ATPase domains. The crystal structures also provide a molecular framework for understanding hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer mutations and for postulating testable roles of MutS.

Figure 1.
Figure 1: Crystal structure of the TAQ MutS-DNA complex. The two protein subunits are represented by ribbon diagrams in blue (A) and green (B). The DNA is shown in a space-filling model, in which the backbone atoms are red and bases are pink. Three orthogonal views from the side, front and top are shown. 		Figure 4.
Figure 4: Mismatch recognition by MutS. a, The DNA-binding domains represented by ribbon diagrams are shown with the heteroduplex DNA. Domains I and IV of subunit A are shown in dark blue and orange; the corresponding domains of subunit B are in light blue and yellow. The DNA phosphate backbones are represented by red ribbons and sugars and bases are shown as ball-and-stick. Phe 39 of subunit A is shown in yellow. Structural elements of subunit B are denoted with a prime. b, A view from the top of a. c, A 2F[o]- F[c] electron density map contoured at 1.0 is shown with the refined structure surrounding the unpaired T. The unpaired T and the G 5' to it are labelled. Both Phe 39 and Glu 41 belong to subunit A. The dashed lines represent hydrogen bonds. d, Topology diagram of domains I and IV. Features common between the two domains are boxed and shown in grey. I B is replaced by a 3[10] helix in domain IV. e, A diagram of protein-DNA interactions. Only those base pairs that contact MutS are shown. Phosphate groups are represented by ovals between the sugar pentagons. Interactions made by each protein domain are labelled in the same colour as the ribbon diagram of this domain in a and b. Hydrogen bonds are represented by red arrows and van der Waals contacts by blue arrows.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
