MutH-independent bacterial DNA mismatch repair

A reusable four-stage bacterial module in which MutS recognizes a replication mismatch, the beta sliding clamp helps orient an endonuclease-bearing MutL that nicks DNA without MutH, and a helicase, single-stranded DNA-binding protein, and one or more directional exonucleases remove the error-containing tract before DNA polymerase and ligase restore the duplex. The module is explicitly distinct from the Dam/MutH-directed Escherichia coli route. Mismatch avoidance by polymerase proofreading, recombination control, and the other repair pathways that share UvrD, RecJ, polymerase, or ligase are outside the boundary.

The UvrD-type 3'-to-5' motor is the shared activity of PTHR11070 and the PAINT node PTN000116141 placing it at LUCA is SOUND. It is established by assay or by experimental PAINT seeds for UvrD/PcrA/UvrD1/Srs2 (SF2), RecB (SF23), FBH1 (SF30), Hmi1 (SF46), AddA (SF48), Arabidopsis SRS2-like (SF61), helicase IV (SF63) and Rep (SF64), and is independently curated for E. coli RecB. PAINT propagates the term to every subfamily except SF65, which is probably right, but the HelD/HelR RNA polymerase-recycling motors (SF17, SF45), Gabija GajB (SF3) and UvrD2 (SF69, an active helicase whose polarity is not stated in the cited work) are untested, so the safe scope is the characterised subfamilies. Within SF2 the Gabija GajB and PcrA-short members are uncharacterised; the subfamily grant rests on the UvrD/PcrA/UvrD1/Srs2 majority. A module grounding this function should use the subfamily rather than the whole family: PANTHER:PTHR11070:SF2 for UvrD and PANTHER:PTHR11070:SF23 for the RecB motor.

Templated nucleotidyl transfer is the defining chemistry of the type-C fold and is asserted for every subfamily, including the error-prone SF4, whose catalytic residues are retained and functionally required. The bacterial_imuabc_damage_induced_mutagenesis module asserts this activity for its DnaE2 annoton on that basis.
ligA_repair_ligation	bacterial NAD-dependent DNA ligases PANTHER:PTHR23389 Family	DNA ligase (NAD+) activity GO:0003911	Family Scope Restricted GO:0003911 is SUBFAMILY_ONLY; this family grounding does not establish the allowed subfamily scope. The bacterial nucleotide-excision repair module asserts this activity for its LigA step, grounded to PTHR23389:SF9. Every one of the 762 reviewed SF9 members is a DNA ligase (LigA, LigA1/LigA2 paralogs, or archaeal LigN), and PAINT places the activity on the bacterial LigA node. The activity is false for the eukaryotic clamp-loader/unloader subfamilies (SF6, SF3, SF21, SF11), which are AAA+ PCNA-loading or unloading subunits.

MutH-independent bacterial DNA mismatch repairBiological Processmuth_independent_mismatch_repair

mismatch repairGO:0006298

Exact UniProt exemplars delimit every family-level role without restricting the module taxonomically or importing the MutH incision mechanism. Exonuclease I, RecJ, and Exonuclease VII are orientation-dependent alternative implementations rather than universally obligatory proteins. DnaN supplies the replisome-coupled clamp context, while SSB stabilizes the exposed excision intermediate and coordinates processing proteins. DnaN, SSB, DnaE, and LigA are shared repair and replication machinery included to complete the pathway, not MMR-specific proteins. PTNs encountered in source GOA are TreeGrafter or combined-IEA provenance only; no ancestral node is asserted without verified PAINT IBD evidence.
