Powering down the Pfam website
On October 5th, we began redirecting traffic from Pfam (pfam.xfam.org) to InterPro (www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro). The Pfam website will remain available at pfam-legacy.xfam.org until January 2023, when it will be decommissioned. You can read more about the sunset period in our blog post.

DNA mismatch repair Edit Wikipedia article

Mismatch Repair

The cell requires a means of repairing mismatches that occur between base pairs during replication – for example, if a guanine nucleotide (G) is paired with a thymine (T), or an adenine (A) is paired with a cytosine (C) (see DNA repair). Therefore, cells have an entire mismatch repair system that replaces mismatched bases in newly synthesized daughter strands by first cleaving off the damage and then inserting the correct nucleotides.

Mut Proteins

The Mut proteins are the major players in the mismatch repair system. MutS recognizes the mismatched base on the daughter strand and binds the mutated DNA. It is then joined by MutL, which binds the MutS-DNA complex. MutL activates the endonuclease MutH, which incises the daughter strand near the mismatch with the help of the helicase UvrD. An exonuclease then digests the nicked strand, moving in the direction of the mismatch, and ending past the mismatch site. Which exonuclease is used is dependent on which side of the mismatch MutH incises the strand – 5’ or 3’. If the nick is on the 5’ end of the mismatch, either RecI or exonuclease VIII, both 5’ to 3’ exonucleases, are used; if however, MutH nicks on the 3’ end of the mismatch, the 3’ to 5’ exonuclease I is used. These exonucleases create a single-stranded gap that can be repaired by DNA Polymerase III, which uses the other strand as a template, and sealed by DNA ligase.

Choosing the Right Strand

The question arises as to how MutS knows which strand is the daughter strand and therefore contains the incorrect base, for replacing the base on the parent strand would result in an undesired mutation. In E.coli, the solution lies in hemimethylation, for as the daughter strand is unmethylated, the repair system can distinguish between the two strands. MutH actually binds at hemimethylated sites along DNA, but its action is latent, being activated only upon contact by MutL. Upon activation, MutH can perform its cleavage selectively on the unmethylated daughter strand.

DNA mismatch repair protein, C-terminal domain Provide feedback

This family represents the C-terminal domain of the mutL/hexB/PMS1 family. This domain has a ribosomal S5 domain 2-like fold.

External database links

This tab holds annotation information from the InterPro database.

InterPro entry IPR013507

This domain is found in MutL and homologues and is characterized by a ribosomal protein S5 domain 2-like fold [ PUBMED:26249686 ].

The dimeric MutL protein has a key function in communicating mismatch recognition by MutS to downstream repair processes. Mismatch repair contributes to the overall fidelity of DNA replication by targeting mispaired bases that arise through replication errors during homologous recombination and as a result of DNA damage. It involves the correction of mismatched base pairs that have been missed by the proofreading element of the DNA polymerase complex [ PUBMED:14527292 ].

Pfam Clan

This family is a member of clan S5 (CL0329), which has the following description:

This superfamily contains a wide range of families that possess a structure similar to the second domain of ribosomal S5 protein.

The clan contains the following 18 members:

ChlI DNA_gyraseB DNA_mis_repair EFG_IV Fae GalKase_gal_bdg GHMP_kinases_N IGPD Lon_C LpxC Morc6_S5 Ribonuclease_P Ribosomal_S5_C Ribosomal_S9 RNase_PH Topo-VIb_trans UPF0029 Xol-1_N

Alignments

We store a range of different sequence alignments for families. As well as the seed alignment from which the family is built, we provide the full alignment, generated by searching the sequence database (reference proteomes) using the family HMM. We also generate alignments using four representative proteomes (RP) sets and the UniProtKB sequence database. More...

View options

We make a range of alignments for each Pfam-A family. You can see a description of each above. You can view these alignments in various ways but please note that some types of alignment are never generated while others may not be available for all families, most commonly because the alignments are too large to handle.

HMM logos is one way of visualising profile HMMs. Logos provide a quick overview of the properties of an HMM in a graphical form. You can see a more detailed description of HMM logos and find out how you can interpret them here. More...

Trees

This page displays the phylogenetic tree for this family's seed alignment. We use FastTree to calculate neighbour join trees with a local bootstrap based on 100 resamples (shown next to the tree nodes). FastTree calculates approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from our seed alignment.

Structures

For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the DNA_mis_repair domain has been found. There are 43 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence.
