The Rad51 paralog complex Rad55-Rad57 acts as a molecular chaperone during homologous recombination.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used single-molecule imaging to reveal that the Rad51 paralog complex Rad55-Rad57 promotes assembly of Rad51 recombinase filament through transient interactions, providing evidence that it acts like a classical molecular chaperone.

Rad51 paralog complex Rad55–Rad57 acts as a molecular chaperone during homologous recombination. Roy et al.

TL;DR: Single–molecule imaging is used to reveal that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad51 paralog complex Rad55–Rad57 promotes the assembly of Rad51 recombinase filaments through transient interactions, providing evidence that it acts as a classical molecular chaperone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bypass of DNA interstrand crosslinks by a Rev1-DNA polymerase ζ complex.

TL;DR: No stalling by Rev1–Pol ζ directly past the ICL was observed, suggesting that the proposed function of Pol ζ as an extender DNA polymerase is also required for ICL repair.
