Shieldin complex promotes DNA end-joining and counters homologous recombination in BRCA1-null cells
BRCA1 deficiencies cause breast, ovarian, prostate and other cancers, and render tumours hypersensitive to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors.

Reconstitution of recombination-associated DNA synthesis with human proteins. [PDF]
The repair of DNA breaks by homologous recombination is a high-fidelity process, necessary for the maintenance of genome integrity. Thus, DNA synthesis associated with recombinational repair must be largely error-free.

Competition between replicative and translesion polymerases during homologous recombination repair in Drosophila. [PDF]
In metazoans, the mechanism by which DNA is synthesized during homologous recombination repair of double-strand breaks is poorly understood. Specifically, the identities of the polymerase(s) that carry out repair synthesis and how they are recruited to ...

Mutational Effects of Mobile Introns on the Mitochondrial Genomes of Metschnikowia Yeasts
It has been argued that DNA repair by homologous recombination in the context of endonuclease-mediated cleavage can cause mutations. To better understand this phenomenon, we examined homologous recombination following endonuclease cleavage in a native ...

VH replacement in rearranged immunoglobulin genes [PDF]
Examples suggesting that all or part of the V<sub>H</sub> segment of a rearranged V<sub>H</sub>DJ<sub>H</sub> may be replaced by all or part of another V<sub>H</sub> have been appearing since the 1980s ...

The choice between homologous recombination and non-homologous end-joining is largely influenced by cell cycle. Here the authors show that APCCdh1 promotes homologous recombination by removing USP1, allowing polyubiquitinated histones to recruit BRCA1.

Measuring Homologous Recombination Rates between Chromosomal Locations in Salmonella
Homologous recombination between two similar DNA molecules, plays an important role in the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks. Recombination can occur between two sister chromosomes, or between two locations of similar sequence identity within the same

Smc5/6 maintains stalled replication forks in a recombination-competent conformation [PDF]
The Smc5/6 structural maintenance of chromosomes complex is required for efficient homologous recombination (HR). Defects in Smc5/6 result in chromosome missegregation and fragmentation.

PARP Inhibitors as a Therapeutic Agent for Homologous Recombination Deficiency in Breast Cancers
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) play an important role in various cellular processes, such as replication, recombination, chromatin remodeling, and DNA repair.

Plant DNA Recombinases: A Long Way to Go
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.
