Nucleotide proofreading functions by nematode RAD51 paralogs facilitate optimal RAD51 filament function

A RAD51 paralog complex, RFS-1/RIP-1, is shown to control ssDNA binding and dissociation by RAD-51 differentially in the presence and absence of nucleotide cofactors. These nucleotide proofreading activities drive a preferential accumulation of RAD-51-ssDNA complexes with optimal nucleotide content.
