Abstract:
Abstract The formation of recombinants during conjugation between Hfr and F- strains of Escherichia coli was investigated using unselected markers to monitor integration of Hfr DNA into the circular recipient chromosome. In crosses selecting a marker located approximately 500 kb from the Hfr origin, 60-70% of the recombinants appeared to inherit the Hfr DNA in a single segment, with the proximal exchange located > 300 kb from the selected marker. The proportion of recombinants showing multiple exchanges increased in matings selecting more distal markers located 700-2200 kb from the orig

Abstract:
Abstract Elevated mitotic recombination and cell cycle delays are two of the cellular responses to UV-induced DNA damage. Cell cycle delays in response to DNA damage are mediated via checkpoint proteins. Two distinct DNA damage checkpoints have been characterized in Schizosaccharomyces pombe: an intra-S-phase checkpoint slows replication and a G2/M checkpoint stops cells passing from G2 into mitosis. In this study we have sought to determine whether UV damage-induced mitotic intrachromosomal recombination relies on damage-induced cell cycle delays. The spontaneous and UV-induced recombination

ABSTRACT The combinatorial nature of genetic recombination can potentially provide organisms with immediate access to many more positions in sequence space than can be reached by mutation alone. Recombination features particularly prominently in the evolution of a diverse range of viruses.

Abstract:
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. DNA recombinases, a special group of proteins bind to single stranded DNA (ssDNA) nonspecifically and search the double stranded DNA (dsDNA) molecule for a stretch of DNA that is homologous with the bound ssDNA. Recombinase A (RecA) has been well characterized at genetic, biochemical, as well as structural level from prokaryotes. Two homologues of RecA called Rad51 and Dmc1 have been detected in ye

Abstract Interchromosomal mitotic recombination in yeast can be stimulated by the protein encoded by gene II of bacteriophage f1. The normal role of the gene II enzyme is to make a site-specific cleavage of a particular strand of the duplex form of the bacteriophage DNA at the origin of DNA replication. The gene II protein was expressed in yeast in an attempt to determine the role of nicked DNA in the initiation of recombination. Stimulation of recombination in yeast by the gene II protein was dependent on the presence of a recognition site for gene II enzyme in the region being assayed. Recom

Abstract Strand exchange protein 1 (Sep1) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae promotes homologous pairing of DNA in vitro and sep1 mutants display pleiotropic phenotypes in both vegetative and meiotic cells. In this study, we examined in detail the ability of the sep1 mutant to progress through meiosis I prophase and to undergo meiotic recombination. In meiotic return-to-growth experiments, commitment to meiotic recombination began at the same time in wild type and mutant; however, recombinants accumulated at decreased rates in the mutant. Gene conversion eventually reached nearly wild-type levels,

Abstract The RAD54 gene, which encodes a protein in the SW12/SNF2 family, plays an important role in recombination and DNA repair in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The yeast genome project revealed a homologue of RAD54, RDH54/TID1. Properties of the rdh54/tid1 mutant and the rad54 rdh54/tid1 double mutant are shown for mitosis and meiosis. The rad54 mutant is sensitive to the alkylating agent, methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), and is defective in interchromosomal and intrachromosomal gene conversion. The rdh54/tid1 single mutant, on the other hand, does not show any significant deficiency in mitosis.

Abstract The double-strand break repair models for homologous recombination propose that a double-strand break in a duplex DNA segment is repaired by gene conversion copying a homologous DNA segment. This is a type of conservative recombination, or two-progeny recombination, which generates two duplex DNA segments from two duplex DNA segments. Transformation with a plasmid carrying a double-strand gap and an intact homologous DNA segment resulted in products expected from such conservative (two-progeny) repair in Escherichia coli cells with active E. coli RecE pathway (recBC sbcA) or with acti

Abstract:
Homologous recombination (HR), although an important DNA repair mechanism, is dangerous to the cell if improperly regulated. The Srs2 “anti-recombinase” restricts HR by disassembling the Rad51 nucleoprotein filament, an intermediate preceding the exchange of homologous DNA strands. Here, we cytologically characterize Srs2 function in vivo and describe a novel mechanism for regulating the initiation of HR. We find that Srs2 is recruited separately to replication and repair centers and identify the genetic requirements for recruitment. In the absence of Srs2 activity, Rad51 foci accumulate, and

Abstract Rad52 is a DNA-binding protein that stimulates the annealing of complementary single-stranded DNA. Only the N terminus of Rad52 is evolutionarily conserved; it contains the core activity of the protein, including its DNA-binding activity. To identify amino acid residues that are important for Rad52 function(s), we systematically replaced 76 of 165 amino acid residues in the N terminus with alanine. These substitutions were examined for their effects on the repair of γ-ray-induced DNA damage and on both interchromosomal and direct repeat heteroallelic recombination. This analysis ident

Instead, anomalous phenotypically rII+ phages are detected carrying an rII region from each parent.
