Insights into the control of RAD51 nucleoprotein filament dynamics from single-molecule studies.

TLDR
In this article, the authors describe recent advances in RAD51 control mechanisms obtained specifically using fluorescence-based single-molecule techniques, and describe how modulators control filament dynamics is at the heart of current research efforts.

Human RAD51 Protein Forms Amyloid-like Aggregates In Vitro

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a key protein that maintains genome stability, RAD51, has amyloid properties in vitro and in the C-DAG system and the possible biological relevance of this observation is discussed.

The Inability to Disassemble Rad51 Nucleoprotein Filaments Leads to Aberrant Mitosis and Cell Death

TL;DR: In this article , the authors demonstrate that without the regulation of these filaments by Srs2 and Rad54, which are known to remove Rad51 from singlestranded and double-stranded DNA, respectively, the filaments strongly inhibit damage-associated DNA synthesis during DNA repair.

Rad54: the Swiss Army knife of homologous recombination?

TL;DR: A wealth of genetic, cytological, biochemical and structural data suggests that Rad54 is a core factor of HR, possibly acting at multiple stages during HR in concert with the central homologous pairing protein Rad51.

RPA and RAD51: fork reversal, fork protection, and genome stability

TL;DR: Current knowledge on the multiple mechanisms by which RPA and RAD51 contribute to genome stability during DNA replication, in particular for replication fork reversal and fork protection are discussed.

Rad51 paralogues Rad55-Rad57 balance the antirecombinase Srs2 in Rad51 filament formation.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the Rad51 presynaptic filament is a meta-stable reversible intermediate, whose assembly and disassembly is governed by the balance between Rad55–Rad57 and Srs2, providing a key regulatory mechanism controlling the initiation of homologous recombination.

RecQ Helicases: Conserved Guardians of Genomic Integrity.

TL;DR: BLM has been shown to play a critical role in homologous recombination at multiple steps, including end-resection, displacement loop formation, branch migration and double Holliday junction dissolution, and recent evidence has revealed a role for BLM/Sgs1 in the stabilisation and repair of replication forks damaged during a perturbed S-phase.

Substrate-Selective Repair and Restart of Replication Forks by DNA Translocases

TL;DR: This work shows that SMARCAL1 branch migration and DNA-annealing activities are directed by the single-stranded DNA-binding protein RPA to selectively regress stalled replication forks caused by blockage to the leading-strand polymerase and to restore normal replication forks with a lagging-Strand gap.
