Figure 5. Eukaryotic 3’-directed excision.

Figure 5.

The EXOI-independent strand excision is likely to be performed by the following sequential interactions: ATP-bound MSH → MLH/PMS sliding clamp → MLH/PMS endonuclease activity triggered by PCNA → Multiple strand scissions on the newly replicated strand until the mismatch is removed → Short fragments of ssDNA are released.
