Journal ArticleDOI
Rad52-mediated DNA annealing after Rad51-mediated DNA strand exchange promotes second ssDNA capture
TL;DR: It is reported that Rad52 promotes annealing of the ssDNA strand that is displaced by DNA strand exchange by Rad51 and RPA, to a second ss DNA strand.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rad51 Protein Controls Rad52-mediated DNA Annealing
TL;DR: Regulation of Rad52-mediated annealing suggests a control function for Rad51 in deciding the recombination path taken for a processed DNA break; the ssDNA can be directed to either Rad51-mediated DNA strand invasion or to Rad 52- mediated DNA annealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The telomeric Cdc13 protein interacts directly with the telomerase subunit Est1 to bring it to telomeric DNA ends in vitro
Yun Wu,Virginia A. Zakian +1 more
TL;DR: In vitro data recapitulate in vitro the first step in telomerase recruitment to telomeric ssDNA and suggest that this step is necessary to recruit telomersase to DNA ends.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA Annealing Mediated by Rad52 and Rad59 Proteins
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantitatively examined the DNA annealing activity of Rad52 and Rad59 proteins and found significant differences in their biochemical properties, including their ability to anneal complementary single-stranded (ss) DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
RecFOR Proteins Target RecA Protein to a DNA Gap with Either DNA or RNA at the 5′ Terminus IMPLICATION FOR REPAIR OF STALLED REPLICATION FORKS
TL;DR: RecFOR proteins specifically target RecA protein to gDNA even in the presence of a thousand-fold excess of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), and recognize RNA at the 5′-end of an RNA-DNA junction within an ssDNA gap, which is compatible with their role in the repair of lagging strand gaps at stalled replication forks.
