Project Summary/Abstract The broad objective of this proposal is to understand the molecular mechanism of homologous recombination in humans, and to understand how the consequences of defects in recombinational DNA repair result in chromosomal instability and predisposition to cancers. Understanding the functions of key proteins in homologous recombination, many of which are tumor suppressors, will provide insight into how mutations in these proteins can predispose individuals to cancer. We plan to elucidate the biochemical roles and examine the mechanism of BRCA1, BLM, EXO1, PALB2, WRN, and the RAD51 paralogs functions, as well as the consequences of the interactions between these proteins, to provide insight into their role in recombinational DNA repair. We plan to reconstitute the initial steps of human recombinational DNA repair, and thereby understand the biochemical functions of these proteins. In addition, we will use single-molecule imaging to reveal the molecular mechanisms by which these proteins act.

项目概要/摘要 该提案的广泛目标是了解同源的分子机制 人类重组，并了解重组 DNA 修复缺陷的后果 导致染色体不稳定并易患癌症。了解关键蛋白质的功能 同源重组（其中许多是肿瘤抑制因子）将提供关于突变如何发生的见解。 这些蛋白质会使人容易患癌症。我们计划阐明生化作用并检查 BRCA1、BLM、EXO1、PALB2、WRN 和 RAD51 旁系同源物功能的机制，以及 这些蛋白质之间相互作用的后果，以深入了解它们在重组中的作用 DNA修复。我们计划重建人类重组DNA修复的初始步骤，从而 了解这些蛋白质的生化功能。此外，我们将使用单分子成像 揭示这些蛋白质发挥作用的分子机制。
