Western blot - Anti-MSH2 antibody [SP46] - BSA and Azide free (AB236239)
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab231437). False colour image of Western blot : Anti-MSH2 antibody [SP46] staining at 0.061 ug/ml, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab231437 was shown to bind specifically to MSH2. A band was observed at 104 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MSH2 knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and MSH2 knockout HCT 116 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Biological function summary
Components are identified in mismatch repair where MSH2 forms a heterodimer with MSH6 known as the MutSα complex or with MSH3 known as the MutSβ complex. This heterodimerization is critical for the initial steps in the recognition and binding of mismatch errors on the DNA strand. MSH2 complex formation enables it to scan the DNA for errors facilitating the recruitment of additional repair proteins. The activity of MSH2 in these complexes is important in preserving the fidelity of genetic information and prevents mutations that could lead to genomic instability.
Pathways
MSH2 operates within the DNA damage response and repair pathways. The protein is a core component of the mismatch repair pathway which corrects DNA replication errors that elude proofreading activity of DNA polymerases. It interacts with other proteins such as MLH1 and PMS2 forming a synergistic function that amplifies the capacity to recognize and initiate repair of mismatches. The pathway involving MSH2 not only repairs mismatched bases but also plays a role in cell cycle control checkpoints and apoptosis evidencing its pivotal role in maintaining cell cycle integrity.
