Mediators of homologous DNA pairing.
Homologous DNA pairing and strand exchange are at the core of homologous recombination. These reactions are promoted by a DNA-strand-exchange protein assembled into a nucleoprotein filament comprising the DNA-pairing protein, ATP, and single-stranded DNA. The catalytic activity of this molecular machine depends on control of its dynamic instability by accessory factors. Here we discuss proteins...
متن کاملDNA strand exchange proteins: a biochemical and physical comparison.
Homologous genetic recombination is an essential biological process that involves the pairing and exchange of DNA between two homologous chromosomes or DNA molecules. It is of fundamental importance to the preservation of genomic integrity, the production of genetic diversity, and the proper segregation of chromosomes. In Escherichia coli, the RecA protein is essential to recombination, and bio...
متن کاملDNA pairing and strand exchange by the Escherichia coli RecA and yeast Rad51 proteins without ATP hydrolysis: on the importance of not getting stuck.
The bacterial RecA protein and the homologous Rad51 protein in eukaryotes both bind to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), align it with a homologous duplex, and promote an extensive strand exchange between them. Both reactions have properties, including a tolerance of base analog substitutions that tend to eliminate major groove hydrogen bonding potential, that suggest a common molecular process unde...
متن کاملPhage T4 homologous strand exchange: A DNA helicase, not the strand transferase, drives polar branch migration
Homologous strand exchange is a central step in general genetic recombination. A multiprotein complex composed of five purified bacteriophage T4 proteins (the products of the uvsX, uvsY, 32, 41, and 59 genes) that mediates strand exchange under physiologically relevant conditions has been reconstituted. One of these proteins, the product of the uvsY gene, is required for homologous pairing but ...
متن کاملRegulation of DNA strand exchange in homologous recombination.
Homologous recombination, the exchange of DNA strands between homologous DNA molecules, is involved in repair of many structural diverse DNA lesions. This versatility stems from multiple ways in which homologous DNA strands can be rearranged. At the core of homologous recombination are recombinase proteins such as RecA and RAD51 that mediate homology recognition and DNA strand exchange through ...
