MutL Homolog 2 (MLH2)

[Edit]

DNA mismatch repair protein MLH2

MutL Homolog 2 (MLH2)
Loss of MLH2 resulted in a small but significant decrease in spore viability and a significant increase in gene conversion frequencies but had no apparent effect on crossing over. Deletion of MLH2 in mlh3Delta, msh4Delta or msh5Delta strains resulted in significant proportion of the "lost" crossovers found in single deletion strains being regained in some genetic intervalsthere are at least two pathways to generate crossovers in yeast .
Most recombination intermediates are processed by the "major", Msh4-dependent pathway, which requires the activity of Mlh1p/Mlh3p/Msh4p/Msh5p as well as a number of other proteins. The minor pathway(s) utilizes Mms4p/Mus81p. the absence of Mlh2p allows some crossovers from the MSH4 pathway to traverse the MUS81-dependent pathway.
