Investigators from Barshop Institute of Longevity & Aging Studies Zero in on Life Sciences (Rad51 Separation of Function Mutation Maintenance but Preserves Dsb Repair)

2024 JUN 06 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsRx Life Science Daily -- Data detailed on Life Sciences have been presented.

Article Description

Homologous recombination (HR) protects replication forks (RFs) and repairs DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Within HR, BRCA2 regulates RAD51 via two interaction regions: the BRC repeats to form filaments on single-stranded DNA and exon 27 (Ex27) to stabilize the filament. Here, we identified a RAD51 S181P mutant that selectively disrupted the RAD51-Ex27 association while maintaining interaction with BRC repeat and proficiently forming filaments capable of DNA binding and strand invasion. Interestingly, RAD51 S181P was defective for RF protection/restart but proficient for DSB repair. Our data suggest that Ex27-mediated stabilization of RAD51 filaments is required for the protection of RFs, while it seems dispensable for the repair of DSBs.
