Research findings from N. Mazloum et al update understanding of DNA research

Published in Proteomics Weekly, April 13th, 2009

According to recent research published in the journal Molecular Cell, "Brh2 plays a central role in the homologous recombination system of Ustilago maydis, mediating delivery of Rad51 to single-stranded DNA. Here we report that Brh2 can pair the displaced strand of a D loop with a complementary single-stranded DNA to form a duplexed, or double, D loop."

"The reaction emulates the second-end capture step envisioned in models of DNA double-strand break repair. This second-end capture reaction promoted by Brh2 proceeds efficiently when performed in the presence of Rad51 under conditions that block annealing by Rad52, or when the second single-stranded DNA substrate...
