Abstract

DNA repair: RAD51 protein disassembly To ensure the correct segregation of chromosomes and during some forms of DNA repair, two homologous DNAs are brought together to swap homologous strands. This process, DNA strand exchange, results in a physical linkage between the two molecules. The RecA/RAD51 family of ATPases mediates strand exchange by forming a long filament on the DNA. One of the unresolved questions in the field is how this filament is disassembled once the strands are exchanged. In this work, van Mameren et al. use a single-molecule approach to elucidate the mechanics of this process and its relationship to the energy released by nucleotide hydrolysis.
