Eviction notice: new insights into Rad51 removal from DNA during homologous recombination.

چکیده
In this issue of Molecular Cell, Ward et al. (2010) identify two genes whose products act redundantly to clear Rad51 from DNA after successful strand invasion, thereby enabling the downstream events of homologous recombination to go smoothly.

Correction for Gopalakrishnan and Kumar, Opposing Roles for Two Molecular Forms of Replication Protein A in Rad51-Rad54-Mediated DNA Recombination in Plasmodium falciparum
UNLABELLED The bacterial RecA protein and its eukaryotic homologue Rad51 play a central role in the homologous DNA strand exchange reaction during recombination and DNA repair. Previously, our lab has shown that PfRad51, the Plasmodium falciparum homologue of Rad51, exhibited ATPase activity and promoted DNA strand exchange in vitro. In this study, we evaluated the catalytic functions of PfRad5...
متن کاملDNA Sequence Alignment by Microhomology Sampling during Homologous Recombination
Homologous recombination (HR) mediates the exchange of genetic information between sister or homologous chromatids. During HR, members of the RecA/Rad51 family of recombinases must somehow search through vast quantities of DNA sequence to align and pair single-strand DNA (ssDNA) with a homologous double-strand DNA (dsDNA) template. Here, we use single-molecule imaging to visualize Rad51 as it a...
متن کاملRad54 functions as a heteroduplex DNA pump modulated by its DNA substrates and Rad51 during D loop formation.
The displacement loop (D loop) is the product of homology search and DNA strand invasion, constituting a central intermediate in homologous recombination (HR). In eukaryotes, the Rad51 DNA strand exchange protein is assisted in D loop formation by the Rad54 motor protein. Curiously, Rad54 also disrupts D loops. How these opposing activities are coordinated toward productive recombination is unk...
متن کاملImplications of the RecA structure
The RecA protein has been the most intensively studied protein involved in homologous genetic recombination, but until recently very little has been known about the molecular details of how RecA can bring two DNA molecules into juxtaposition and switch strands between them. A recent RecA-DNA crystal structure provides some striking new insights.
متن کاملCdk1 Targets Srs2 to Complete Synthesis-Dependent Strand Annealing and to Promote Recombinational Repair
Cdk1 kinase phosphorylates budding yeast Srs2, a member of UvrD protein family, displays both DNA translocation and DNA unwinding activities in vitro. Srs2 prevents homologous recombination by dismantling Rad51 filaments and is also required for double-strand break (DSB) repair. Here we examine the biological significance of Cdk1-dependent phosphorylation of Srs2, using mutants that constitutiv...
