| Abstract |
Escherichia coli MutS forms a mispair-dependent ternary complex with MutL that is essential for initiating mismatch repair (MMR) but is structurally uncharacterized, in part owing to its dynamic nature. Here, we used hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and other methods to identify a region in the connector domain (domain II) of MutS that binds MutL and is required for mispair-dependent ternary complex formation and MMR. A structurally conserved region in Msh2, the eukaryotic homolog, was required for formation of a mispair-dependent Msh2-Msh6-Mlh1-Pms1 ternary complex. These data indicate that the connector domain of MutS and Msh2 contains the interface for binding MutL and Mlh1-Pms1, respectively, and support a mechanism whereby mispair and ATP binding induces a conformational change that allows the MutS and Msh2 interfaces to interact with their partners. |
