The translocation activity of Rad54 reduces crossover outcomes during homologous recombination.

Abstract excerpt

Homologous recombination (HR) is a template-based DNA double-strand break repair pathway that requires the selection of an appropriate DNA sequence to facilitate repair. Selection occurs during a homology search that must be executed rapidly and with high fidelity. Failure to efficiently perform the homology search can result in complex intermediates that generate genomic rearrangements, a hallmark of human...
