MSH5 (MutSHomolog 5) is localized into the mitochondria of germ and somatic cells. This protein binds to mtDNA and interacts with the Twinkle helicase and the DNA polymerase gamma. hMSH5 stimulates mtDNA repair in response to DNA damage induced by oxidative stress. Since MSH5 encodes a protein homologous to DNA mismatch recognition proteins, mismatch repair genes are frequently mutated in cancers cells and, like mismatch repair genes, MSH5 is highly conserved from yeast to human, this observation suggests novel mechanisms of chemotherapeutic drug resistance that may occur in certain human cancer patients. The human MSH5 gene consists of 25 exons and spans at least 12 kb of genomic DNA, while the C. elegans gene comprises 17 exons distributed over at least 5.8 kb.
