Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination is an important pathway for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rad52 is a central recombination protein, whereas its paralogue, Rad59, plays a more subtle role in homologous recombination. Both proteins can mediate annealing of complementary single-stranded DNA in vitro, but only Rad52 interacts with replication protein A and the Rad51...
