The RecQ helicase Sgs1 drives ATP-dependent disruption of Rad51 filaments
20 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
DNA helicases of the RecQ family are conserved among the three domains of life and play essential roles in genome maintenance. Mutations in several human RecQ helicases lead to diseases that are marked by cancer predisposition. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RecQ helicase Sgs1 is orthologous to human BLM, defects in which cause the cancer-prone Bloom's Syndrome. Here, we use single-molecule imaging to provide a...
