The latent endonuclease activity of MLH1:PMS2 (MutLalpha) is activated by interaction with MSH2:MSH6 and PCNA (Kadyrov et al 2006). MLH1:PMS2 makes a nick in the replicated strand of DNA. As inferred from yeast, more than one MLH1:PMS2 may bind per MSH2:MSH6 (Hombauer et al. 2011). Strand selection of the nick is determined by interaction with PCNA, though the exact mechanism is unknown (Pluciennik et al 2010).
