DNA mismatch repair by MutS and MutH in E. coli

Description
SI 3'“ 5"H'l'l‘l'l' 3r Mismatch MutH / cleavage site Repaired mismatch Parental strand 0 MutH binds to hemi- methylated DNA. Here, "M" indicates parental- strand methylation. o MutS binds to a base-pair mismatch and attracts MutL, and the complex contacts MutH. a MutH cleaves the unmethylated (new) DNA strand, generating a single-strand gap. 0 The gap is filled by DNA polymerase activity to repair the mismatch.
