== Function ==
This gene encodes a member of the mutS family of proteins that are involved in DNA mismatch repair or meiotic recombination processes. This protein is similar to a Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein that participates in meiotic segregation fidelity and crossing-over. This protein forms heterooligomers with another member of this family, mutS homolog 4. Alternative splicing results in four transcript variants encoding three different isoforms.<ref name="entrez"/>
== Mutations ==
Mice [[Zygosity#homozygous|homozygous]] for a null Msh5 mutation (Msh5-/-) are viable but sterile.<ref name="pmid9916805">{{cite journal | vauthors = Edelmann W, Cohen PE, Kneitz B, Winand N, Lia M, Heyer J, Kolodner R, Pollard JW, Kucherlapati R | title = Mammalian MutS homologue 5 is required for chromosome pairing in meiosis | journal = Nature Genetics | volume = 21 | issue = 1 | pages = 123–7 | date = Jan 1999 | pmid = 9916805 | doi = 10.1038/5075 | s2cid = 28944216 }}</ref>  In these mice, the [[Meiosis#prophase I|prophase I]] stage of [[meiosis]] is defective due to the disruption of [[Bivalent (genetics)|chromosome pairing]].  This meiotic failure leads, in male mice, to diminution of [[testicle|testicular]] size, and in female mice, to a complete loss of [[Ovary|ovarian]] structures.
A genetic investigation was performed to test women with premature ovarian failure for mutations in each of four meiotic genes.<ref name="pmid18166824">{{cite journal | vauthors = Mandon-Pépin B, Touraine P, Kuttenn F, Derbois C, Rouxel A, Matsuda F, Nicolas A, Cotinot C, Fellous M | title = Genetic investigation of four meiotic genes in women with premature ovarian failure | journal = European Journal of Endocrinology| volume = 158 | issue = 1 | pages = 107–15 | date = Jan 2008 | pmid = 18166824 | doi = 10.1530/EJE-07-0400 | doi-access = free }}</ref>  Among 41 women with premature ovarian failure two were found to be [[Zygosity#heterozygous|heterozygous]] for a mutation in the MSH5 gene; among 34 fertile women (controls) no mutations were found in the four tested genes.
These findings in mouse and human indicate that the MSH5 protein plays an important role in meiotic recombination.
In the worm ''[[Caenorhabditis elegans]]'', the MSH5 protein is required during meiosis both for normal spontaneous and for gamma-irradiation induced crossover recombination and chiasma formation.<ref name=Kelly>{{cite journal | vauthors = Kelly KO, Dernburg AF, Stanfield GM, Villeneuve AM | title = Caenorhabditis elegans msh-5 is required for both normal and radiation-induced meiotic crossing over but not for completion of meiosis | journal = Genetics | volume = 156 | issue = 2 | pages = 617–30 | date = Oct 2000 | doi = 10.1093/genetics/156.2.617 | pmid = 11014811 | pmc = 1461284 }}</ref>  Meiotic recombination is often initiated by double strand breaks. MSH5 mutants retain the competence to repair DNA double-strand breaks that are present during meiosis, but they accomplish this repair in a way that does not lead to crossovers between homologous chromosomes.<ref name=Kelly />  The known mechanism of non-crossover recombinational repair is called synthesis dependent strand annealing (see [[homologous recombination]]).  MSH5 thus appears to be employed in directing the [[Homologous recombination|recombinational repair]] of some double-strand breaks towards the cross over option rather than the non-cross over option.
== Interactions ==
MSH5 has been shown to [[Protein-protein interaction|interact]] with [[MSH4]].<ref name=pmid9787078 /><ref name=pmid12591739>{{cite journal | vauthors = Her C, Wu X, Griswold MD, Zhou F | title = Human MutS homologue MSH4 physically interacts with von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor-binding protein 1 | journal = Cancer Research | volume = 63 | issue = 4 | pages = 865–72 | date = Feb 2003 | pmid = 12591739 }}</ref><ref name=pmid10029069>{{cite journal | vauthors = Bocker T, Barusevicius A, Snowden T, Rasio D, Guerrette S, Robbins D, Schmidt C, Burczak J, Croce CM, Copeland T, Kovatich AJ, Fishel R | title = hMSH5: a human MutS homologue that forms a novel heterodimer with hMSH4 and is expressed during spermatogenesis | journal = Cancer Research | volume = 59 | issue = 4 | pages = 816–22 | date = Feb 1999 | pmid = 10029069 }}</ref>
