RAD52 protein has an important role in homology‐directed DNA repair by mediating RAD51 nucleoprotein filament formation on single‐stranded DNA (ssDNA) protected by replication protein‐A (RPA) and annealing of RPA‐coated ssDNA. In human, cellular response to DNA damage includes phosphorylation of RAD52 by c‐ABL kinase at tyrosine 104. To address how this phosphorylation modulates RAD52 function, we used an amber suppressor technology to substitute tyrosine 104 with chemically stable phosphotyrosine analogue (p‐Carboxymethyl‐ L ‐phenylalanine, pCMF). The RAD52 Y104pCMF  retained ssDNA‐binding activity characteristic of unmodified RAD52 but showed lower affinity for double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) binding. Single‐molecule analyses revealed that RAD52 Y104pCMF  specifically targets and wraps ssDNA. While RAD52 Y104pCMF  is confined to ssDNA region, unmodified RAD52 readily diffuses into dsDNA region. The Y104pCMF substitution also increased the ssDNA annealing rate and allowed overcoming the inhibitory effect of dsDNA. We propose that phosphorylation at Y104 enhances ssDNA annealing activity of RAD52 by attenuating dsDNA binding. Implications of phosphorylation‐mediated activation of RAD52 annealing activity are discussed.
