Abstract

AbstractSrs2 is an Sf1a helicase that helps maintain genome stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae through its ability to regulate homologous recombination. Srs2 downregulates HR by stripping Rad51 from single–stranded DNA, and Srs2 is also thought to promote synthesis–dependent strand annealing by unwinding D–loops. However, it has not been possible to evaluate the relative contributions of these two distinct activities to any aspect of recombination. Here, we used a structure–based approach to design an Srs2 separation–of–function mutant that can dismantle Rad51–ssDNA filaments but is incapable of disrupting D–loops, allowing us to assess the relative contributions of these pro– and anti–recombinogenic functions. We show that this separation–of–function mutant phenocopies wild–type SRS2 in vivo, suggesting that the ability of Srs2 to remove Rad51 from ssDNA is its primary role during HR.
