摘要: DNA helicases of the RecQ family are conserved among three domains life and play essential roles in genome maintenance. Mutations several human lead to diseases that marked by cancer predisposition. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae helicase Sgs1 is orthologous BLM, defects which cause cancer-prone Bloom's Syndrome. Here, we use single-molecule imaging provide a quantitative mechanistic understanding activities on single stranded (ssDNA), central intermediate all aspects metabolism. We show acts upon ssDNA bound either replication protein A (RPA) or recombinase Rad51. Surprisingly, find utilizes novel motor mechanism for disrupting intermediates ability disrupt Rad51-ssDNA filaments may explain some engendered RECQ deficiencies cells.
