In Escherichia coli, MutS scans the DNA, recognizing mismatches from the distortion they cause in the DNA backbone. 

MutS has an ATPase activity that is required for mismatch repair and recruits MutL, a second protein component of the repair system. MutL, in turn, activates MutH, an enzyme that causes an incision or nick on one strand near the site of the mismatch. Nicking is followed by the action of a specific helicase (UvrD) helicase unwinds the DNA, starting from the incision and moving in the direction of the site of the mismatch, and the filled in by DNA polymerase III

During the transition to the open complex, the conformation of both the RNA polymerase and the DNA change. 

1) 90° bend in the DNA, which allows the template strand to approach the active site of the enzyme; 

2) strand opening of the promoter DNA between -11 and +3 with respect to the transcription start site; 

3) the promoter DNA scrunches into the active channel forming the transcription bubble; and 

4) closing of the jaws of the enzyme to encircle the section of the promoter downstream section of the transcription start site.
