Identification
Name:Very short patch repair protein
Synonyms:
  • DNA mismatch endonuclease
  • V.EcoKDcm
  • Vsr mismatch endonuclease
Gene Name:vsr
Enzyme Class:Not Available
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in endonuclease activity
Specific Function:Deamination of 5-methylcytosine in DNA results in T/G mismatches. If unrepaired, these mismatches can lead to C-to-C transition mutations. The very short patch (VSP) repair process in E.coli counteracts the mutagenic process by repairing the mismatches in favor of the G-containing strand. This enzyme is an endonuclease that nicks double-stranded DNA within the sequence CT(AT)GN or NT(AT)GG next to the thymidine residue that is mismatched to 2'-deoxyguanosine. The incision is mismatch- dependent and strand-specific
