TLDR
ChIP time courses from various mutant strains and additional biochemical studies suggest that Rad52p, Rad55p, and Rad54p each help promote the formation and/or stabilization of the Rad51p nucleoprotein filament and all four Rad proteins associate with homologous donor sequences during strand invasion.

Mechanism of eukaryotic homologous recombination.

TL;DR: HR accessory factors that facilitate other stages of the Rad51- and Dmc1-catalyzed homologous DNA pairing and strand exchange reaction have also been identified.

Molecular Mechanisms of Ultraviolet Radiation-Induced DNA Damage and Repair

TL;DR: This review deals with UV-induced alterations in DNA and its maintenance by various repair mechanisms that are operative in various organisms with the expense of specific gene products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recombination proteins in yeast.

TL;DR: Recently studies showing defects in homologous recombination and double-strand break repair in several human cancer-prone syndromes have emphasized the importance of this repair pathway in maintaining genome integrity.

Mechanism of homologous recombination: mediators and helicases take on regulatory functions

TL;DR: This work has shown that mutations in the tumour-suppressor protein BRCA2, which has a mediator function in HR, lead to cancer formation and DNA helicases, such as Bloom's syndrome protein, regulate HR at several levels, in attenuating unwanted HR events and in determining the outcome of HR.

Recruitment of the INO80 Complex by H2A Phosphorylation Links ATP-Dependent Chromatin Remodeling with DNA Double-Strand Break Repair

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that conversion of the DSB into ssDNA is compromised in arp8 and H2A mutants, which are both deficient for INO80 activity at the site of damage.

Heterologous modules for efficient and versatile PCR-based gene targeting in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

TL;DR: A straightforward PCR‐based approach to the deletion, tagging, and overexpression of genes in their normal chromosomal locations in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and a series of plasmids containing the kanMX6 module, which allows selection of G418‐resistant cells and thus provides a new heterologous marker for use in S. pom be.

Multiple Pathways of Recombination Induced by Double-Strand Breaks in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: This review encompasses different aspects of DSB-induced recombination in Saccharomyces and attempts to relate genetic, molecular biological, and biochemical studies of the processes of DNA repair and recombination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catalysis of ATP-dependent homologous DNA pairing and strand exchange by yeast RAD51 protein

TL;DR: The RAD51 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is required for genetic recombination and DNA double-strand break repair and it is demonstrated that RAD51 protein pairs circular viral single-stranded DNA from phi X 174 or M13 with its respective homologous linear double-Stranded form, indicating that RAD 51 can catalyze strand exchange.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted disruption of the Rad51 gene leads to lethality in embryonic mice.

TL;DR: The mouse Rad51 gene is a mammalian homologue of the Escherichia coli recA and yeast RAD51 genes, both of which are involved in homologous recombination and DNA repair, which means that RAD51 protein plays an essential role in the proliferation of cell.

Cell cycle and genetic requirements of two pathways of nonhomologous end-joining repair of double-strand breaks in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

TL;DR: RAD50 (and by extension XRS2 and MRE11) exerts a much more important role in the insertion-producing pathway of NHEJ repair found in S and/or G2 than in the less frequent deletion events that predominate when HO is expressed only in G1.
