Architecture of the Hin synaptic complex during recombination: The recombinase subunits translocate with the DNA strands

Article Abstract:

A site-directed protein crosslinking is used to elucidate the configuration of protein subunits and DNA within the Hin synaptic complex and to follow the movement of protein subunits during DNA strand exchange. The results indicated that the protein interface mediating synapsis is localized to a region within the catalytic domains thereby positioning the DNA strand on the outside of the Hin tetrameric complex.

DisA, a busy bee that monitors chromosome integrity

Article Abstract:

A protein, DNA integrity scanning protein (DisA) is described, that is responsible for the surveillance of chromosome integrity during sporulation. This has enabled researchers to detect the localization of specific proteins even in small microbial organisms.
