Human Rad51C Deficiency Destabilizes XRCC3, Impairs Recombination, and Radiosensitizes S/G2-phase Cells
30 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
The highly conserved Rad51 protein plays an essential role in repairing DNA damage through homologous recombination. In vertebrates, five Rad51 paralogs (Rad51B, Rad51C, Rad51D, XRCC2, and XRCC3) are expressed in mitotically growing cells and are thought to play mediating roles in homologous recombination, although their precise functions remain unclear. Among the five paralogs, Rad51C was found to be a central...
