Human RAD51 paralogue SWSAP1 fosters RAD51 filament by regulating the anti-recombinase FIGNL1 AAA+ ATPase
Abstract
RAD51 assembly on single-stranded DNAs is an important step in the homology-dependent repair of DNA damage. Here authors reveal a role for the human RAD51 paralogue, SWSAP1, as a regulator of RAD51 assembly, by antagonizing RAD51 remodeller, FIGNL1 AAA + ATPase.
