Abstract:Homologous recombination catalyzed by the RAD51 recombinase eliminates deleterious DNA lesions from the genome. In the presence of ATP, RAD51 forms a nucleoprotein filament on single-stranded DNA, termed the presynaptic filament, to initiate homologous recombination-mediated DNA double-strand break repair. The SWI5-SFR1 complex stabilizes the presynaptic filament and enhances its ability to mediate the homologous DNA pairing reaction. Here we characterize the RAD51 presynaptic filament stabilization function of the SWI5-SFR1 complex using optical tweezers. Biochemical experiments reveal that SWI5-SFR1 enhances ATP hydrolysis by single-stranded DNA-bound RAD51. Importantly, we show that SWI5-SFR1 acts by facilitating the release of ADP from the presynaptic filament. Our results thus provide mechanistic understanding of the function of SWI5-SFR1 in RAD51-mediated DNA recombination.
