Abstract excerpt
The DMC1 protein, a meiosis-specific DNA recombinase, promotes homologous pairing and strand exchange. The I37N single nucleotide polymorphism of the human DMC1 protein was reported as a result of human genome sequencing projects. In this study, we purified the human DMC1-I37N variant, as a recombinant protein. The DMC1 protein is known to require DNA for efficient ATP hydrolysis. By contrast, the DMC1-I37N...
