Nap1 stimulates homologous recombination by RAD51 and RAD54 in higher-ordered chromatin containing histone H1
6 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination plays essential roles in mitotic DNA double strand break (DSB) repair and meiotic genetic recombination. In eukaryotes, RAD51 promotes the central homologous-pairing step during homologous recombination, but is not sufficient to overcome the reaction barrier imposed by nucleosomes. RAD54, a member of the ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling factor family, is required to promote the...
