Research Abstract |
In this study, I made focus on the structure-function relationships of Swi5-Sfr1 complex that interacts Rad51. I revealed the complex structure of Swi5 and C-terminal region of Sfr1 by X-ray crystallography and found that this protein complex is essential for Rad51 activation. Furthermore, we showed that Swi5-Sfr1 complex enters the groove of Rad51 filament in the activation process, and intrinsically disorder regions of Sfr1 is important in the process. From these results, I proposed a model of Rad51 activating mechanism by Swi5-Sfr1.
