The DNA mismatch-repair MLH3 protein interacts with MSH4 in meiotic cells, supporting a role for this MutL homolog in mammalian meiotic recombination.
The mismatch-repair (MMR) system plays a central role in maintaining genetic stability and requires evolutionarily conserved protein factors, including MutS and MutL homologs. Since the discovery of a link between the malfunction of post-replicative MMR and human cancers, a number of works have focused on the function of MutS and MutL homologs in the correction of replication errors. However, s...
متن کاملP-205: Analysis of Mlh3 C2531T Polymorphism in Iranian Women with Unexplained Infertility
Background: Infertility is increasingly recognized as a major health problem. Meiotic genes are very important candidates for genes contributing to female and male infertility. Mammalian MutL homologues have dual roles in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) after replication errors and meiotic reciprocal recombination. There are four MutL homologues in eukaryotes that mutations of three of them (Mlh1, Ml...
متن کاملLocalization of MMR proteins on meiotic chromosomes in mice indicates distinct functions during prophase I
Mammalian MutL homologues function in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) after replication errors and in meiotic recombination. Both functions are initiated by a heterodimer of MutS homologues specific to either MMR (MSH2-MSH3 or MSH2-MSH6) or crossing over (MSH4-MSH5). Mutations of three of the four MutL homologues (Mlh1, Mlh3, and Pms2) result in meiotic defects. We show herein that two distinct compl...
متن کاملMismatch repair-induced meiotic recombination requires the pms1 gene product.
The presence of multiple heterologies in a 9-kilobase (kb) interval results in a decrease in meiotic crossovers from 26.0% to 10.1%. There is also an increase from 3.5% to 11.1% in gene conversions and ectopic recombinations between the flanking homologous MAT loci. The hypothesis that mismatch repair of heteroduplex DNA containing several heterologies would lead to a second round of recombinat...
متن کاملThe dual role of HOP2 in mammalian meiotic homologous recombination
Deletion of Hop2 in mice eliminates homologous chromosome synapsis and disrupts double-strand break (DSB) repair through homologous recombination. HOP2 in vitro shows two distinctive activities: when it is incorporated into a HOP2-MND1 complex it stimulates DMC1 and RAD51 recombination activities and the purified HOP2 alone is proficient in promoting strand invasion. We observed that a fraction...
