DNA mismatch repair MutSbeta complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Mismatch repair complex, involved in the recognition and repair of insertion/deletion mismatches. Active in both targeted gene replacement in which a targeted sequence in the genome is replaced with a selectable gene from a linear targeting DNA, and the single-strand annealing pathway of recombination between direct repeats. Direct repeats flanking a double-stranded break is annealed by RAD52 (P06778) and further stabilized by MSH2-MSH3 which has similar activities on both the leading and lagging strands of replication. MSH2-MSH3 appear to facilitate targeted integration by the two-end invasion pathway while simultaneously inhibiting the single-strand assimilation pathway.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.

DNA binding, DNA damage response, DNA metabolic process, DNA repair, response to stress
