== Function ==

[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MUTS2_THET8 MUTS2_THET8] Endonuclease that is involved in the suppression of homologous recombination and may therefore have a key role in the control of bacterial genetic diversity. Cleaves the phosphate backbone of oligodeoxynucleotides non-sequence-specifically at the 3' side of the phosphates. Preferably incises the branched DNA structures, especially the D-loop structure over the Holliday junction. Has ATPase activity. Binds to dsDNA but not to ssDNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00092]<ref>PMID:15113836</ref> <ref>PMID:17215294</ref> <ref>PMID:17686785</ref> <ref>PMID:18838375</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

MutS family proteins are classified into MutS-I and -II lineages: MutS-I recognizes mismatched DNA and initiates mismatch repair, whereas MutS-II recognizes DNA junctions to modulate recombination. MutS-I forms dimeric clamp-like structures enclosing the mismatched DNA, and its composite ATPase sites regulate DNA-binding modes. Meanwhile, the structures of MutS-II have not been determined; accordingly, it remains unknown how MutS-II recognizes DNA junctions and how nucleotides control DNA binding. Here, we solved the ligand-free and ADP-bound crystal structures of bacterial MutS2 belonging to MutS-II. MutS2 also formed a dimeric clamp-like structure with composite ATPase sites. The ADP-bound MutS2 was more flexible compared to the ligand-free form and could be more suitable for DNA entry. The inner hole of the MutS2 clamp was two times larger than that of MutS-I, and site-directed mutagenesis analyses revealed DNA-binding sites at the inner hole. Based on these, a model is proposed that describes how MutS2 recognizes DNA junctions.
