Insight into the mechanism of action of the SSB interactome
ABSTRACT The single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) is the founding member of the nineteen-partner SSB interactome. There is a fundamental gap in understanding the mechanism of action of the interactome, the first prokaryotic family of oligosaccharide/oligonucleotide binding fold (OB-fold) genome guardians identified. The continued existence of this gap represents an important problem because, until it is filled, a complete and clear understanding of genome stability will be lacking. This understanding is crucial as defects in OB-fold genome guardian family members have disastrous consequences for genome stability. In higher organisms, mutations in the three OB-folds of BRCA2 ultimately…
