Cadmium inhibits mismatch repair by blocking the ATPase activity of the MSH2–MSH6 complex

Cadmium (Cd(2+)) is a known carcinogen that inactivates the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) pathway. In this study, we have tested the effect of Cd(2+) exposure on the enzymatic activity of the mismatch binding complex MSH2–MSH6. Our results indicate that Cd(2+) is highly inhibitory to the ATP binding and...
