Temporal tuning of actin nucleation by the repurposed DNA repair complex RAD51/fignl1 encodes distinct axon guidance decisions

Samya Zerkoune, Yvrick Zagar, Julie Delaroche…·Coralie Fassier

The paper shows how RAD51/fignl1, repurposed from DNA repair, controls axon guidance by modulating F-actin nucleation timing and magnitude.

The FIGNL1-FIRRM complex is required to complete meiotic recombination in the mouse and prevents massive DNA damage-independent RAD51 and DMC1 loading

Akbar Zainu, Dupaigne Pauline, Soumya Bouchouika…·Frédéric Baudat

This study identifies the FIGNL1-FIRRM complex as essential for completing meiotic recombination in mice by regulating RAD51 and DMC1 loading, independent of DNA damage.
