BRC-2/BRCA2-RIPR-1 mediated constraints on homologous recombination execution are spatiotemporally regulated during meiosis

Nicola Silva, Mário Špı́rek, Magdalena Ledvinova…·Lumír Krejčí

This study identifies RIPR-1 as a novel BRC-2/BRCA2 interactor that regulates RAD-51 recruitment during meiotic homologous recombination, revealing BRCA2-independent pathways and stage-dependent constraints on DNA repair.

Loss of meiotic double strand breaks triggers recruitment of recombination-independent pro-crossover factors in C. elegans spermatogenesis

JoAnne Engebrecht, Aashna Calidas, Qianyan Li…·Nicola Silva

This study shows that in C. elegans male spermatogenesis, crossover-promoting factors can recruit to chromosomes without SPO-11 activity, indicating weakened crossover control compared to hermaphrodite oogenesis.
