Journal ArticleDOI
The Rad51 Paralog Rad51B Promotes Homologous Recombinational Repair
Minoru Takata,Masao S. Sasaki,Eiichiro Sonoda,Toru Fukushima,Ciaran G. Morrison,Joanna S. Albala,Sigrid M. A. Swagemakers,Roland Kanaar,Larry H. Thompson,Shunichi Takeda +9 more
TL;DR: Findings show that Rad51B is important for repairing various types of DNA lesions and maintaining chromosome integrity, and promotes the assembly of Rad51 nucleoprotein filaments during HRR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mediator function of the human Rad51B–Rad51C complex in Rad51/RPA-catalyzed DNA strand exchange
TL;DR: Five Rad51-like proteins, referred to as Rad51 paralogs, have been described in vertebrates and it is shown that two of them, Rad51B and Rad51C, are associated in a stable complex that has ssDNA binding and ssDNA-stimulated ATPase activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of RAD51C, a new human member of the RAD51 family of related genes
Manjit K. Dosanjh,David W. Collins,Wufang Fan,Gregory G. Lennon,Joanna S. Albala,Zhiyuan Shen,David Schild +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that Rad51C may function similarly to the yeast Rad55 or Rad57 proteins, rather than as a Rad51 functional homolog, as reported on here.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a novel human RAD51 homolog, RAD51B.
Joanna S. Albala,Michael P. Thelen,Christa Prange,Wufang Fan,Mari Christensen,Larry H. Thompson,Gregory G. Lennon +6 more
TL;DR: Northern blot analysis demonstrated that RAD51B mRNA is widely expressed and most abundant in tissues active in recombination, and functions associated with known RAD51 homologs suggest a role for RAD 51B in meiotic recombination and/or recombinational repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions involving the Rad51 paralogs Rad51C and XRCC3 in human cells.
Claudia Wiese,David W. Collins,Joanna S. Albala,Larry H. Thompson,Amy Kronenberg,David Schild +5 more
TL;DR: It is argued that there are at least two complexes of Rad51 paralogs in human cells, both containing Rad51C, and Rad51 is not found in these complexes.
