Displacement loops (D-loops) are intermediates formed during homologous recombination that play a pivotal role in the fidelity of repair. Rdh54 (a.k.a. Tid1), a Rad54 paralog in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is well-known for its role with Dmc1 recombinase during meiotic recombination. Yet contrary to Dmc1, Rdh54 is also present in somatic cells where its function is less understood. While Rdh54 enhances the Rad51 DNA strand invasion activity in vitro, it...
