Gene: AIMP2

Alternate names for this Gene: HLD17|JTV-1|JTV1|P38

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is part of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase complex, which contains nine different aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and three non-enzymatic factors. The encoded protein is one of the non-enzymatic factors and is required for assembly and stability of the complex.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7p22.1

Description of this Gene: aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex interacting multifunctional protein 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: PMS2

Alternate names for this Gene: HNPCC4|MLH4|MMRCS4|PMS2CL|PMSL2

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a key component of the mismatch repair system that functions to correct DNA mismatches and small insertions and deletions that can occur during DNA replication and homologous recombination. This protein forms heterodimers with the gene product of the mutL homolog 1 (MLH1) gene to form the MutL-alpha heterodimer. The MutL-alpha heterodimer possesses an endonucleolytic activity that is activated following recognition of mismatches and insertion/deletion loops by the MutS-alpha and MutS-beta heterodimers, and is necessary for removal of the mismatched DNA. There is a DQHA(X)2E(X)4E motif found at the C-terminus of the protein encoded by this gene that forms part of the active site of the nuclease. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC; also known as Lynch syndrome) and Turcot syndrome.
