Аннотация:This review is focused on the general aspects of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) process. The key
proteins of the DNA mismatch repair system are MutS and MutL. To date, their main structural and functional characteristics have been thoroughly studied. However, different opinions exist about the initial stages of the mismatch repair process with the participation of these proteins. This review aims to summarize the data on the relationship between the two MutS functions, ATPase and DNA-binding, and to systematize various models of coordination between the mismatch site and the strand discrimination site in DNA. To test these models, novel
techniques for the trapping of short-living complexes that appear at different MMR stages are to be developed.
