NCBI Protein Information
MUTS homolog 7
NCBI Summary
encodes a DNA mismatch repair homolog of human MutS gene, MSH6. There are four MutS genes in Arabidopsis, MSH2, MSH3, MSH6, and MSH7, which all act as heterodimers and bind to 51-mer duplexes. MSH2*MSH7 exhibit moderate affinity for a (T/G) substrate and weak binding of (+T), suggesting MSH2*MSH7 may be specialized for lesions/base mispairs not tested or for (T/G) mispairs in special contexts.

UniProt Comments
Component of the post-replicative DNA mismatch repair system (MMR). Forms the heterodimer MutS gamma (MSH2-MSH7 heterodimer) which binds to DNA mismatches thereby initiating DNA repair. MutS gamma recognizes specifically the T/G single base mismatch, but not trinucleotide insertion-deletion loops (IDL).
