malfunction | translocase depletion in tumor cell lines leads to the accumulation of RAD51 on chromosomes, forming complexes that are not associated with markers of DNA damage. Combined depletion of RAD54L and RAD54B and/or artificial induction of RAD51 overexpression blocks replication and promotes chromosome segregation defects. Induction of nondamage-associated RAD51 foci is associated with reduced cell growth.

physiological function | the strand exchange protein RAD51 functions to promote genome stability by repairing DNA double strand breaks (DSB) and damaged replication forks. RAD51 repairs damage by forming helical nucleoprotein filaments on tracts of ssDNA. Such tracts form by 5'-3' processing of DNA ends formed by DSBs, and also as a consequence of replication fork collapse or blockage. The ssDNA-specific binding protein RPA binds rapidly and with high specificity to ssDNA tracts and, with the help of mediator proteins, promotes the recruitment of RAD51. Following nucleoprotein filament formation, RAD51 carries out a search for homologous dsDNA sequences and then promotes invasion of target duplex leading to the exchange of DNA strands that forms heteroduplex DNA within an intermediate called the displacement loop (D-loop). The ssDNA strand displaced from the target duplex during heteroduplex DNA formation also binds RPA. Subsequent stages of the recombination process result in repair of damage without loss or rearrangement of DNA sequences. RAD54L and RAD54B counteract genome-destabilizing effects of direct binding of RAD51 to dsDNA in human tumor cells. Thus, in addition to having genome-stabilizing DNA repair activity, human RAD51 has genome-destabilizing activity when expressed at high levels, as is the case in many human tumors. Within the RPA-positive subpopulation, induction of RAD51 overexpression was associated with redistribution of RPA from the diffuse staining pattern to punctate foci, suggesting that they form on undamage dsDNA, with subsequent local accumulation of RPA foci as a consequence of replisome collisions with preformed RAD51 fibers | Homo sapiens |
