摘要: Recombination mediator proteins (RMPs) are critical for genome integrity in all organisms. They include phage UvsY, prokaryotic RecF, -O, -R (RecFOR) and eukaryotic Rad52, Breast Cancer susceptibility 2 (BRCA2) Partner localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) proteins. PALB2 tumor suppressors implicated cancer. RMPs regulate binding RecA-like recombinases to sites DNA damage initiate the most efficient non-mutagenic repair broken chromosome other deleterious lesions. Mechanistically, stimulate a single-stranded (ssDNA) hand-off from ssDNA (ssbs) such as gp32, SSB RPA, recombinases, activating only at time site event. This review summarizes structural studies their implications understanding mechanism function. Comparative analysis is complicated due convergent evolution. In contrast evolutionary conserved ssbs extremely diverse sequence structure. Structural particularly important cases reveal common features entire family specific regulatory mechanisms each member. All characterized by DNA-binding domains variable protein interaction motifs. The complexity corresponds ever-growing number metabolism events they participate under normal pathological conditions requires additional comprehensive structure-functional studies.
