BLM, gene defective in BS, encodes a member of the RecQ family of 3´-5´ DNA helicases and is proposed to function in recombinational repair at DNA replication. We used single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer microscopy to examine BLM behaviour on forked DNA substrates. BLM unwound individual DNA molecules repetitively, a short length unwound followed by rapid reannealing in successions. We show that monomeric BLM can "measure" how many base pairs it has unwound, and after a critical length it reverses the unwinding through strand switching and translocating on the opposing strand. Repetitive unwinding persisted even in the presence of hRPA, and interaction between wild-type BLM and hRPA was necessary for unwinding reinitiation on hRPA-coated DNA. These activities may facilitate BLM processing of stalled replication forks and illegitimately formed recombination intermediates.
