A forward genetic screen conducted in the Verslues laboratory found that mutation of the Non-Phototrophic Hypocotyl3 (NPH3)-domain protein NRL5 causes plants to become hypersensitive to drought stress because of mis-regulated proline metabolism.

Homologous recombination during meiosis is critical for chromosome segregation and also gives rise to genetic diversity. Genetic exchange between homologous chromosomes during meiosis is mediated by the recombinase Dmc1, which is capable of recombining DNA sequences with mismatches.

Interhomolog recombination in meiosis requires a meiosis-specific recombinase, Dmc1. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the Mei5-Sae3 complex facilitates the loading of Dmc1 onto the replication protein A (RPA)-coated single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to form nucleoprotein filaments.
