Fanconi anemia-associated mutation in RAD51 compromises the coordinated action of DNA-binding and ATPase activities.

Abstract excerpt

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare genetic disease caused by a defect in DNA repair pathway for DNA interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks can potentially impede the progression of the DNA replication fork, consequently leading to DNA double-strand breaks. Heterozygous RAD51-Q242R mutation has been reported to cause FA-like symptoms. However, the molecular defect of RAD51 underlying the disease is largely unknown....
