Abstract excerpt
The DNA strand exchange protein RAD51 facilitates the central step in homologous recombination, a process fundamentally important for accurate repair of damaged chromosomes, restart of collapsed replication forks, and telomere maintenance. The active form of RAD51 is a nucleoprotein filament that assembles on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) at the sites of DNA damage. The c-Abl tyrosine kinase and its oncogenic...
