| Research Abstract |
Homologous DNA recombination plays roles in the maintenance of genome integrity and in genetic diversification. While RecA/Rad51 homologous pairing proteins pairs DNA molecules with an exact sequence matching by an ATP-hydrolysis-dependent reaction, ATP-independent pairing proteins is unlikely to have such a function. To understand the molecular bases of the recombination functions, we compared RecA/Rad51 and ATP-independent homologous pairing proteins in their reactions. NMR analyses indicate that basic mechanisms of homologous pairing are common independent of the proteins. On the other hand, biochemical and topological studies suggest that an ATP-independent protein generates triplexes, instead of D-loops which RecA/Rad51 produces. These results suggest roles of the two groups of the proteins in homologous recombination.
