Mismatch-containing oligonucleotide duplexes bound by the E.coli mutS-encoded protein

Received June 8, 1988. Revised July 1, 1988. Accepted July 26, 1988.

The binding of the mutS gene product, a protein involved in at least two E. coli mismatch correction pathways, to a series of synthetic DNA duplexes containing mismatches or mismatch analogues of the purine/pyrimidine type was studied in order to establish whether a correlation exists between the recognition of these mispairs and the efficiency of their correction in vivo. Experiments using nitrocellulose filter binding or band-shift assays revealed that duplexes containing a G/T mismatch or its analogues I/T and DI/T were bound by the protein with affinities correlating to the efficiency of their repair in vivo. In contrast, the A/C mismatch, contained within the same sequence, was bound only poorly, despite being efficiently corrected in vivo. The analogues of the A/C mispair, uncorrected in vivo, were not detectably bound under the conditions of these assays.
