The Dbl2 protein is involved in DNA damage repair and homologous recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells, where it localizes the Fbh1 helicase that dismantles Rad51. The deletion of the dbl2 gene is accompanied by a change in the gene expression of more than 500 loci in the genome. Regions with changes in gene expression are statistically closer to LTR regions. Comparative analysis of dbl2 mutant and mutants in other genes involved in transcriptional silencing showed a significant overlap of regions with an altered expression between dbl2, hip1 and slm9 mutants (genes encoding subunits of the histone chaperone complex HIRA) (Mišová, 2019). In this work, we show data about the expression analysis of mutants in two other genes that are also involved in the homologous recombination pathway (rad51Δ, mus81Δ) and non-homologous end joining pathway (pku70Δ and lig4Δ). Gene expression analysis and nucleosome occupancy analysis showed the involvement of the entire homologous recombination pathway in the process of repression of gene expression and confirmed its cooperation with the histone chaperone complex HIRA in maintaining the standard structure of chromatin in actively dividing cells. Through microscopic analysis, we revealed the influence of the CENP-B homologue Cbp1 on the localization of fluorescently labelled Dbl2-YFP foci, but this phenotype is probably not connected to the role of Cbp1 in the process of suppression of gene expression near LTR regions.
