The 14th #NMR a tool for biology conference was a big success, thanks to the contributions of our 200 attendees from 18 countries, and 40% of students/postdocs. The future of NMR is in good hands. 🥰
Have a safe trip back home. See you @pasteur.fr on May 10-12, 2027 @brukercorporation.bsky.social

Rendez-vous à Autrans en juin pour échanger autour d'applications de nos spins préférés ! 👇

CAF-1 promotes efficient PrimPol recruitment to nascent DNA for single-stranded DNA gap formation Abstract. Suppression of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gap accumulation at replication forks has emerged as a potential determinant of chemosensitivity in ho

2) The histone chaperone CAF1 promotes PRIMPOL recruitment to restart stalled forks through ssDNA gap formation. doi.org/10.1093/nar/...

(2/2)Through integrative structural and functional analyses, we identified a large disordered segment of Rad52 that binds Rad51 and functions as an assembly chaperone. It prevents Rad51 oligomerization, facilitates filament formation, and protects filaments from destabilization by the helicase Srs2.

Rad52 Acts as an Assembly Chaperone to Form and Stabilize Rad51 Filaments Through a Large C-Terminus 85-Residue Segment Homologous recombination (HR) is essential for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks and the restart of stalled replication forks. A critical step in HR is the formation of Rad51 nucleofilaments, whi...

(1/2) Thrilled to share our findings on the assembly of the Rad51 recombinase filament in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This work is the result of a wonderful collaboration with Eric Coïc's team at CEA Fontenay-aux-Roses and Angela Taddei's team at the Institut Curie.
