This study identifies a Rad54 mutation that separates its function during homologous recombination, revealing a novel intermediate essential for stabilizing D-loop structures.

This study investigates how Rad51 and Rad54 remodel donor DNA during homology search by applying tension and torsion forces, revealing their role in controlling Rad51-ssDNA filament dynamics.

This study identifies evolutionary changes in Rad51 and Dmc1 that influence recombination outcomes by altering DNA binding properties and pathway stability.

This study identifies a physical interaction between Dmc1 and Mlh1-Mlh3 in yeast meiosis and shows that Dmc1 promotes crossover resolution by recruiting Mlh1-Mlh3.
