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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 7
Location in Chromosome : 7p22.1
Description of this Gene: PMS1 homolog 2, mismatch repair system component
Type of Gene: protein-coding
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.
