MutL_C

MutL C terminal dimerisation domain
MutL_C
SMART accession number:SM00853
Description: MutL and MutS are key components of the DNA repair machinery that corrects replication errors. MutS recognises mispaired or unpaired bases in a DNA duplex and in the presence of ATP, recruits MutL to form a DNA signaling complex for repair. The N terminal region of MutL contains the ATPase domain and the C terminal is involved in dimerisation.
Interpro abstract (IPR014790):

MutL and MutS are key components of the DNA repair machinery that corrects replication errors [ (PUBMED:8811176) ]. MutS recognises mispaired or unpaired bases in a DNA duplex and in the presence of ATP, recruits MutL to form a DNA signalling complex for repair. The N-terminal region of MutL contains the ATPase domain and the C-terminal is involved in dimerisation [ (PUBMED:15470502) ].
