Abstract excerpt
Rad51 is a homolog of the bacterial RecA protein and is central for recombination in eukaryotes performing homology search and DNA strand exchange. Rad51 and RecA share a core ATPase domain that is structurally similar to the ATPase domains of helicases and the F1 ATPase. Rad51 has an additional N-terminal domain, whereas RecA protein has an additional C-terminal domain. Here we show that glycine 103 in the...
