Designing an IHC experiment for PMS2? The guide has the expected staining pattern, antigen retrieval and fixation, antibodies backed by real IHC images, the tissue controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the PMS2 IHC GuideFacts about Mismatch repair endonuclease PMS2.
Meeting of the MutL-MutS-heteroduplex ternary complex in existence of RFC and PCNA is enough to activate endonuclease activity of PMS2. It introduces single-strand breaks near the mismatch and so generates new entry points for the exonuclease EXO1 to degrade the strand containing the mismatch.
