RAD51D plays an important role in DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR) and together with other RAD51 paralogues, RAD51B, RAD51C, XRCC3 and XRCC2, helps recruiting RAD51 to the break site [1-3]. This entry represents the N-terminal domain which is essential for protein-protein interaction with XRCC2 and consists of four short helices flanked by long N- and C-terminal tails [1]. This domain can bind DNA, preferentially ssDNA [1].
This domain is found at the N-terminal end of human DNA repair protein XRCC3 and similar proteins, and at the C-terminal end of plant DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit alpha (RpoA). XRCC3 is involved in the homologous recombination repair pathway o ...
This domain is found at the N-terminal end of human DNA repair protein XRCC3 and similar proteins, and at the C-terminal end of plant DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit alpha (RpoA). XRCC3 is involved in the homologous recombination repair pathway of double-stranded DNA, thought to repair chromosomal fragmentation, translocations and deletions. It is part of the RAD51 paralogue protein complex CX3 [5-7]. This domain is predicted to adopt an helix-hairpin-helix (HHH) fold.
