MSH2

This locus is frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC). When cloned, it was discovered to be a human homolog of the E. Coli mismatch repair gene mutS, consistent with the characteristic alterations in microsatellite sequences (RER+ phenotype) found in HNPCC. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]

Interaction

Component of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) complex composed at least of MSH2, MSH3, MSH6, PMS1 and MLH1 (PubMed:26300262). Heterodimer consisting of MSH2-MSH6 (MutS alpha) or MSH2-MSH3 (MutS beta) (PubMed:8942985). Both heterodimers form a ternary complex with MutL alpha (MLH1-PMS1) (PubMed:9788596, PubMed:10856833, PubMed:11427529, PubMed:11429708, PubMed:12414623, PubMed:14676842). Interacts with MCM9; the interaction recruits MCM9 to chromatin (PubMed:26300262). Interacts with MCM8 (PubMed:26300262). Interacts with EXO1 (PubMed:9788596, PubMed:10856833, PubMed:11427529, PubMed:11429708, PubMed:12414623, PubMed:14676842). Part of the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC), which contains BRCA1, MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, ATM, BLM, PMS2 and the RAD50-MRE11-NBS1 protein complex (PubMed:10783165). This association could be a dynamic process changing throughout the cell cycle and within subnuclear domains (PubMed:10783165). Interacts with ATR (PubMed:14657349). Interacts with SLX4/BTBD12; this interaction is direct and links MutS beta to SLX4, a subunit of different structure-specific endonucleases (PubMed:19596235). Interacts with SMARCAD1 (PubMed:18675275).
