Summary: Enables chromatin binding activity; damaged DNA binding activity; and guanine/thymine mispair binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage; and somatic diversification of immunoglobulins. Located in chromatin. Part of MutSalpha complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; liver; lung; and oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lynch syndrome; colorectal carcinoma; endometrial cancer; hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer type 5; and mismatch repair cancer syndrome. Orthologous to human MSH6 (mutS homolog 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

MSH6 Aggravates the Hypoxic Microenvironment via Regulating HIF1A to Promote the Metastasis of Glioblastoma Multiforme.
Title: MSH6 Aggravates the Hypoxic Microenvironment via Regulating HIF1A to Promote the Metastasis of Glioblastoma Multiforme.
we show that AID binds cooperatively with UNG and the mismatch repair proteins Msh2-Msh6 to Ig Smu and Sgamma3 regions
Title: AID recruits UNG and Msh2 to Ig switch regions dependent upon the AID C terminus [corrected].
Data suggest that MSH6 protects B cells from neoplastic transformation by preserving genomic stability.
Title: Msh6 protects mature B cells from lymphoma by preserving genomic stability.
similar defects on switching in Msh2(-/-), Msh2(-/-)Msh6(-/-) and Msh2(-/-)Msh6(-/-)Msh3(-/-) mice confirm that MutSalpha but not MutSbeta plays an important role in class switch recombination
Title: MSH2/MSH6 complex promotes error-free repair of AID-induced dU:G mispairs as well as error-prone hypermutation of A:T sites.
Synergism between Mgmt and Msh6 can be explained entirely by the suppression of alkylation-induced apoptosis when Msh6 is absent.
Title: Alkylation-induced colon tumorigenesis in mice deficient in the Mgmt and Msh6 proteins.
ablation of either Msh6 or Exo1 function in the Mgmt-null mouse renders these rapidly proliferating tissues alkylation-resistant. The Msh6 defect confers total alkylation resistance
Title: O6-methylguanine-induced cell death involves exonuclease 1 as well as DNA mismatch recognition in vivo.
These findings indicate that MutS alpha reduces spontaneous and IR-induced mutation in a cell type-dependant manner.
Title: Role of the mismatch repair gene, Msh6, in suppressing genome instability and radiation-induced mutations.
p53 and Msh6 are functionally interrelated and these tumor suppressors act together to accelerate tumorigenesis.
Title: The associated contributions of p53 and the DNA mismatch repair protein Msh6 to spontaneous tumorigenesis.
Mice nullizygous for both Msh2 and Msh3 and those nullizygous for both Msh3 and Msh6 displayed the greatest overall increases in mutation frequencies compared with wild-type mice.

Msh6 deficiency resulted in somatic instability of a (GTG)84 repeat.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
