Dual functions for the ssDNA-binding protein RPA in meiotic recombination
4 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Meiotic recombination permits exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes.The replication protein A (RPA) complex, the predominant ssDNA-binding complex, is required for nearly all aspects of DNA metabolism, but its role in mammalian meiotic recombination remains unknown due to the embryonic lethality of RPA mutant mice.RPA is a heterotrimer of RPA1, RPA2, and RPA3.We find that loss of RPA1, the...
