MLH1-MLH3 endonuclease 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
Mn2+-dependent endonuclease which nicks a DNA strand containing a pre-existing nick, presumably to provide an entry site for a mispair excision reaction. Required for DNA mismatch repair (MMR), correcting base-base mismatches and insertion-deletion loops resulting from DNA replication, DNA damage or from recombination events between non-identical sequences during meiosis. ATP binding induces a conformational change in the MSH2-MSH6 (CPX-1037) and MSH2-MSH3 (CPX-1036) complexes which converts these to a clamp form that slides along the DNA and leads to recruitment of MutLalpha (CPX-1666), MutLbeta (CPX-1667) and MLH1-MLH3. Appears to substitute in a minor way MutLalpha, for maintaining the genetic stability of simple sequence repeats, by suppressing recombination between slightly divergent or homeologous DNA sequences, and in the repair of heteroduplex sites present in meiotic recombination intermediates.
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.

Biological Process

Manually curated GO annotations reflect our best understanding of the basic biological process for this protein complex. Manually curated annotations are assigned by curators based on published papers when available, or by curatorial statements if necessary. Curators periodically review all manually curated GO annotations for accuracy and completeness.
