RecQ DNA helicases resolve Rad-51-mediated recombination and suppress aberrant homologous recombination. RecQ gene loss is associated with cancer susceptibility and increased mitotic recombination. We have developed an in vivo assay based on a zebrafish pigment mutant for suppression of RecQ activity, and demonstrate that zebrafish RecQ genes have conserved function in suppressing mitotic recombination.
RecQ DNA解旋酶可解决Rad-51介导的重组并抑制异常同源重组。RecQ基因缺失与癌症易感性和有丝分裂重组增加有关。我们基于斑马鱼色素突变体开发了一种体内检测方法来抑制RecQ活性,并证明斑马鱼RecQ基因在抑制有丝分裂重组方面具有保守功能。
