FIGNL1-FIRRM is essential for meiotic recombination and prevents DNA damage-independent RAD51 and DMC1 loading
15 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
During meiosis, nucleoprotein filaments of the strand exchange proteins RAD51 and DMC1 are crucial for repairing SPO11-generated DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination (HR). A balanced activity of positive and negative RAD51/DMC1 regulators ensures proper recombination. Fidgetin-like 1 (FIGNL1) was previously shown to negatively regulate RAD51 in human cells. However, FIGNL1’s role during...
