Journal ArticleDOI

RMI, a new OB-fold complex essential for Bloom syndrome protein to maintain genome stability.

TL;DR: A novel component of the BLM complex, RMI2, is reported, which interacts with RMI1 through two oligonucleotide-binding (OB)-fold domains similar to those in RPA, and suggests that multi-OB-fold complexes mediate two modes of BLM action: via RPA-mediated protein-DNA interaction, and via RMI- mediated protein-protein interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

BLAP75, an essential component of Bloom's syndrome protein complexes that maintain genome integrity

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that BLAP75, a novel protein containing a putative OB‐fold nucleic acid binding domain, is an integral component of BLM complexes, and is essential for their stability in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

The DNA translocase FANCM/MHF promotes replication traverse of DNA interstrand crosslinks.

TL;DR: The results indicate that translocase-based mechanisms enable DNA synthesis to continue past ICLs and that these lesions are not always absolute blocks to replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Architectural DNA binding by a high-mobility-group/kinesin-like subunit in mammalian SWI/SNF-related complexes.

TL;DR: The cloning of the 57-kDa subunit (BAF57), the first DNA binding subunit for SWI/SNF-like complexes is described and it is suggested that the mechanism by which mammalian and Drosophila SWI-like complex interact with chromatin may involve recognition of higher-order chromatin structure by two or more DNA binding domains.
