Even among the two 5’-nicks, the mechanisms by which they cause expansions are different: the 5’-nick near the GAA repeat strand (and much less for the TTC strand) promotes expansions that depend on the Rad52 protein and thus happen via homologous recombination. 16/n

Rôle de chaperon de la protéine Rad52 dans la recombinaison homologue
Rôle de chaperon de la protéine Rad52 dans la recombinaison homologue
La recombinaison homologue est une des voies majeures de réparation des dommages de l'ADN telles que les cassures double brin. Une étape clé de cette voie de réparation consiste en la formation de filaments nucléoprotéiques formés de la protéine Rad51 sur de l'ADN simple brin. Ces nucléofilaments sont responsables de la recherche d'homologie et de l'invasion d'un ADN intact et semblable à l'ADN endommagé afin de l'utiliser comme matrice pour la synthèse réparatrice. La formation de ces nucléofilaments Rad51 est finement régulée. Chez la levure, la formation des filaments Rad51 est régulée par la protéine Rad52 et chez l'homme par la protéine BRCA2.   Dans une étude précédente, des chercheurs de l’UMR Stabilité Génétique, Cellules souches et Radiations - SGCSR/iRCM (UMR 1274 UParis/UPSaclay/INSERM/CEA-Jacob, Fontenay-aux-Roses) et de l’I2BC (CNRS/CEA-Joliot/UPsaclay, Gif-sur-Yvette) avaient démontré que l'association Rad52-Rad51 non seulement favorise la formation des nucléofilaments de Rad51, mais qu'elle est aussi essentielle pour les protéger de l'activité déstabilisatrice d'une autre protéine, Srs2 (Ma et al., 2018).   Dans une nouvelle étude publiée dans Nature Communications, ces deux équipes, en collaboration avec l'Institut Curie et le synchrotron SOLEIL, dévoilent les bases moléculaires de l'interaction Rad51-Rad52.   Lire la suite de l’Actu CEA   -> Contact : eric.coic@cea.fr
