Description:
DNA mismatch recognition and binding in human cells has been thought to be mediated by the hMSH2 protein. Here it is shown that the mismatch-binding factor consists of two distinct proteins, the 100-kilodalton hMSH2 and a 160-kilodalton polypeptide, GTBP (for G/T binding protein). Sequence analysis identified GTBP as a new member of the MutS homolog family. Both proteins are required for mismatch-specific binding, a result consistent with the finding that tumor-derived cell lines devoid of either protein are also devoid of mismatch-binding activity.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Palombo, F -- Gallinari, P -- Iaccarino, I -- Lettieri, T -- Hughes, M -- D'Arrigo, A -- Truong, O -- Hsuan, J J -- Jiricny, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1995 Jun 30;268(5219):1912-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Istituto di Ricerche di Biologia Molecolare P.
