Homologous Recombination: To Fork and Beyond [PDF]

open access: yesGenes, 2018
Accurate completion of genome duplication is threatened by multiple factors that hamper the advance and stability of the replication forks. Cells need to tolerate many of these blocking lesions to timely complete DNA replication, postponing their repair for later. This process of lesion bypass during DNA damage tolerance can lead to the accumulation of

BRCA2 and homologous recombination [PDF]

open access: yesBreast Cancer Research, 2001
Two recent papers provide new evidence relevant to the role of the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA2 in DNA repair. Moynahan et al provide genetic data indicating a requirement for BRCA2 in homology-dependent (recombinational) repair of DNA double-strand breaks.

The Regulation of Homologous Recombination by Helicases [PDF]

open access: yesGenes, 2020
Homologous recombination is essential for DNA repair, replication and the exchange of genetic material between parental chromosomes during meiosis. The stages of recombination involve complex reorganization of DNA structures, and the successful completion of these steps is dependent on the activities of multiple helicase enzymes.

Smc5/6 coordinates formation and resolution of joint molecules with chromosome morphology to ensure meiotic divisions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
During meiosis, Structural Maintenance of Chromosome (SMC) complexes underpin two fundamental features of meiosis: homologous recombination and chromosome segregation.

Homologous Recombination: Down to the Wire [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2004
Exchange of strands between homologous DNA molecules is catalyzed by evolutionarily conserved recombinases. These proteins can occur in different quaternary arrangements: rings or helical filaments. Recent results reveal that recombinase function follows from the filamentous form.

Homologous recombination and its regulation [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2012
Homologous recombination (HR) is critical both for repairing DNA lesions in mitosis and for chromosomal pairing and exchange during meiosis. However, some forms of HR can also lead to undesirable DNA rearrangements. Multiple regulatory mechanisms have evolved to ensure that HR takes place at the right time, place and manner. Several of these impinge on

Double-strand break repair and homologous recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In recent years our understanding of double strand break repair and homologous recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has increased significantly, and the identification of novel pathways and genes with homologues in higher eukaryotes has increased ...

Structural basis of homologous recombination [PDF]

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2019
AbstractHomologous recombination (HR) is a pathway to faithfully repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). At the core of this pathway is a DNA recombinase, which, as a nucleoprotein filament on ssDNA, pairs with homologous DNA as a template to repair the damaged site.

PALB2 self-interaction controls homologous recombination. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
PALB2 is essential for BRCA2 anchorage to nuclear structures and for homologous recombinational repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Here, we report that the N-terminal coiled-coil motif of PALB2 regulates its self-association and homologous recombination.
