What is the function of the MutS-MutL-MutH protein complex?
A) base excision
B) mismatch repair
C) DNA adenylation
D) DNA methylation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The MutS-MutL-MutH protein complex is involved in the process of mismatch repair, which corrects errors that occur during DNA replication. MutS recognizes the mismatched base pair, MutL recruits other repair proteins, and MutH distinguishes between the parental and newly synthesized strands to direct excision of the mismatched segment and subsequent repair by DNA polymerase. The other options are not related to the function of this complex.
