NCIt definition : DNA mismatch repair protein Msh6 (1360 aa, 153 kDa) is encoded by the human MSH6
gene. This protein is involved in the DNA damage response.;
NCIt note : The G/T Binding Protein (GTBP), encoded by the MSH6 gene, forms Mismatch-Binding Factor
with MSH2. GTBP contains a PWWP domain, binds to G/T mismatches, is required for base/base
and single-nucleotide insertion-deletion repairs, and increases the proficiency of
two-four nucleotide insertion-deletion repair. ADP-bound MSH2/MSH6 binds to mismatched
DNA, provoking ADP/ATP exchange and MSH2/MSH6 migration along the DNA backbone. DNA-bound,
ATP-bound MSH2/MSH6 activates the repair machinery. MSH6 is part of the multisubunit
BASC complex, which may sense abnormal DNA structures and regulate postreplication
repair. (From SWISS-PROT, OMIM);
