Abstract excerpt
In budding yeast, Dmc1's recombinogenic activity is controlled by the meiosis-specific heterodimer Mei5-Sae3. Mei5-Sae3 is required for assembly of Dmc1 at sites of meiotic DNA double-stranded breaks. Here, we report Mei5-Sae3 can stabilize Dmc1 filaments in both the active and inactive allosteric conformations depending on the nucleotide cofactor supporting filament formation. Mei5-Sae3 specifically stabilizes...
