To investigate the DNA damage response, we undertook a genome-wide study in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and identified 86 gene deletions that lead to increased levels of spontaneous Rad52 foci in proliferating diploid cells. More than half of the genes are conserved across species ranging from yeast to humans. Along with genes involved in DNA replication, repair, and chromatin remodeling, we found 22 previously uncharacterized open reading frames. Analysis of recombination rates and synthetic genetic interactions with rad52Δ suggests that multiple mechanisms are responsible for elevated levels of spontaneous Rad52 foci, including increased production of recombinogenic lesions, sister chromatid recombination defects, and improper focus assembly/disassembly. Our cell biological approach demonstrates the diversity of processes that converge on homologous recombination, protect against spontaneous DNA damage, and facilitate efficient repair. Homologous recombination (HR) is a cellular process that permits efficient repair of both endogenous and exogenous DNA damage. Although the principal players in HR have been well characterized, the interplay of diverse processes with the HR pathway remains mysterious. Traditionally, genetic screens investigating HR have utilized genetic assays, such as survival following exposure to DNA damaging agents or alterations in the rate of the generation of recombinant products. In this work, we instead utilize a cell biology phenotype, the relocalization of the central HR protein Rad52 into subnuclear foci reflecting repair centers actively engaged in HR. This approach allows us to identify mutants that affect the kinetics of HR repair center assembly and disassembly regardless of the outcome of recombination. We identified 86 gene deletions that lead to increases in the levels of spontaneous foci in proliferating diploid cells, 22 of which were deletions of previously uncharacterized ORFs (designated IRC2–11, 13–16, 18–25). Genetic characterization of the mutants revealed a diversity of mechanisms that underlie the focus phenotype. These include increasing the generation of DNA lesions, blocking the completion of HR, and altering the kinetics of genetic recombination and the assembly/disassembly of the HR protein complexes.
