Function

[MLH1_YEAST] Required for DNA mismatch repair (MMR), correcting base-base mismatches and insertion-deletion loops (IDLs) resulting from DNA replication, DNA damage or from recombination events between non-identical sequences during meiosis. Component of different MutL heterodimers that form a ternary complex with the MutS heterodimers, which initially recognize the DNA mismatches. This complex is thought to be responsible for directing the downsteam MMR events, including strand discrimination, excision, and resynthesis. Plays a major role in maintaining the genetic stability of simple sequence repeats, the repair of heteroduplex sites present in meiotic recombination intermediates, and the promotion of meiotic crossing-over.^{[1] [2] [3]} [EXO1_YEAST] 5'->3' double-stranded DNA exonuclease involved in mismatch repair and eventually also in mitotic recombination between direct repeats. Also has a minor role in the correction of large DNA mismatches that occur in the heteroduplex DNA during meiotic recombination at the HIS4 locus.^{[4] [5] [6] [7]} [PMS1_YEAST] Required for DNA mismatch repair (MMR), correcting base-base mismatches and insertion-deletion loops (IDLs) resulting from DNA replication, DNA damage or from recombination events between non-identical sequences during meiosis. Component of the MutLalpha heterodimer that forms a ternary complex with the MutS heterodimers, which initially recognize the DNA mismatches. This complex is thought to be responsible for directing the downsteam MMR events, including strand discrimination, excision, and resynthesis. Plays a major role in maintaining the genetic stability of simple sequence repeats and in the repair of heteroduplex sites present in meiotic recombination intermediates.^{[8] [9] [10]}
