Enhancement of RAD51 recombinase activity by the tumor suppressor PALB2Eloïse Dray
Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut, USA
Nat Struct Mol Biol 17:1255-9. 2010..Our results demonstrate the multifaceted role of PALB2 in chromosome damage repair. Because PALB2 mutations can cause cancer or Fanconi anemia, our findings shed light on the mechanism of tumor suppression in humans...
Molecular basis for enhancement of the meiotic DMC1 recombinase by RAD51 associated protein 1 (RAD51AP1)Eloïse Dray
Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108:3560-5. 2011..These results suggest that RAD51AP1 also serves an important role in meiotic homologous recombination...
Mechanistic insights into RAD51-associated protein 1 (RAD51AP1) action in homologous DNA repairMyun Hwa Dunlop
Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA
J Biol Chem 287:12343-7. 2012..Examination of these mutants reveals that both domains are indispensable for RAD51AP1 function in cells. These and other results illuminate the mechanistic basis of RAD51AP1 action in homologous DNA repair...
RAD51-associated protein 1 (RAD51AP1) interacts with the meiotic recombinase DMC1 through a conserved motifMyun Hwa Dunlop
Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA
J Biol Chem 286:37328-34. 2011..This RAD51AP1 motif is reminiscent of the FVPP motif in the tumor suppressor protein BRCA2 that mediates DMC1 interaction. These results further implicate RAD51AP1 in meiotic HR via RAD51 and DMC1...
Yeast Mph1 helicase dissociates Rad51-made D-loops: implications for crossover control in mitotic recombinationRohit Prakash
Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06520, USA
Genes Dev 23:67-79. 2009..Importantly, Mph1, but not a helicase-defective variant, dissociates Rad51-made D-loops. Overall, the results from our analyses suggest a new role of Mph1 in promoting the noncrossover repair of DNA double-strand breaks...
