RAD51-independent inverted-repeat recombination by a strand-annealing mechanism.
DNA repair - 3 Apr 2011
Mott Christina, Symington Lorraine S
Abstract excerpt
Recombination between inverted repeats is RAD52 dependent, but reduced only modestly in the rad51Δ mutant. RAD59 is required for RAD51-independent inverted-repeat recombination, but no clear mechanism for how recombination occurs in the absence of RAD51 has emerged. Because Rad59 is thought to function as an accessory factor for the single-strand annealing activity of Rad52 one possible mechanism for spontaneous...
