Plant DNA Recombinases: A Long Way to Go

open access: yesJournal of Nucleic Acids, 2010
DNA homologous recombination is fundamental process by which two homologous DNA molecules exchange the genetic information for the generation of genetic diversity and maintain the genomic integrity.

Keeping homologous recombination in check [PDF]

open access: yesCell Research, 2016
Pathway choice is a critical event in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. In a recent paper published in Nature, Orthwein et al. define a mechanism by which homologous recombination is controlled in G1 cells to favor non-homologous end joining.

Homologous recombination is unlikely to play a major role in influenza B virus evolution

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2008
Influenza B viruses cause a significant amount of morbidity and mortality. The occurrence of homologous recombination in influenza viruses is controversial.

PCR artifact in testing for homologous recombination in genomic editing in zebrafish. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
We report a PCR-induced artifact in testing for homologous recombination in zebrafish. We attempted to replace the lnx2a gene with a donor cassette, mediated by a TALEN induced double stranded cut.

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.

Variation in RAD51 details a hub of functions: opportunities to advance cancer diagnosis and therapy [version 2; referees: 4 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2018
Loss of genome stability is one of the hallmarks of the enabling characteristics of cancer development. Homologous recombination is a DNA repair process that often breaks down as a prelude to developing cancer. Conversely, homologous recombination can be

The apo LETM1 F‐EF‐hand adopts a closed conformation that underlies a multi‐modal sensory role in mitochondria

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present the first solution structure of the Ca2+‐depleted LETM1 F‐EF‐hand through a D676A/N678A Ca2+ binding‐deficient mutant, revealing a closed hydrophobic cleft caused by a unique F1‐helix pivot. The apo LETM1 F‐EF‐hand exhibits regiospecific hot and cold unfolding, sensitivity to physiological pH changes and potential for promiscuous heterotypic

RecA-mediated homology search as a nearly optimal signal detection system [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Cell 40(3) 388-396 (2010), 2010
Homologous recombination facilitates the exchange of genetic material between homologous DNA molecules. This crucial process requires detecting a specific homologous DNA sequence within a huge variety of heterologous sequences. The detection is mediated by RecA in E. coli, or members of its superfamily in other organisms.

The Influence of Homologous Arm Length on Homologous Recombination Gene Editing Efficiency Mediated by SSB/CRISPR-Cas9 in Escherichia coli

open access: yesMicroorganisms
The precise editing of genes mediated by CRISPR-Cas9 necessitates the application of donor DNA with appropriate lengths of homologous arms and fragment sizes.

RAPID SOUTHERN BLOT PROTOCOL FOR THE ANALYSIS OF TARGETED MUTAGENESIS IN THE MOUSE IGHG1 LOCUS

open access: yesScientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
The efficiency of homologous recombination relies on the lenght of the homology arms and the chromatin compactation of the locus. In ES cells the immuoglobulin locu is compacted. Thus, the homologous recombination events occur at a very low frequency.
