Abstract
The Escherichia coli MutS and MutL proteins have been conserved throughout evolution, although their combined functions in mismatch repair (MMR) are poorly understood. We have used biochemical and genetic studies to ascertain a physiologically relevant mechanism for MMR. The MutS protein functions as a regional lesion sensor. ADP-bound MutS specifically recognizes a mismatch. Repetitive rounds of mismatch-provoked ADP-->ATP exchange results in the loading of multiple MutS hydrolysis-independent sliding clamps onto the adjoining duplex DNA. MutL can only associate with ATP-bound MutS sliding clamps. Interaction of the MutS-MutL sliding clamp complex with MutH triggers ATP binding by MutL that enhances the endonuclease activity of MutH. Additionally, MutL promotes ATP binding-independent turnover of idle MutS sliding clamps. These results support a model of MMR that relies on two dynamic and redundant ATP-regulated molecular switches.
