Protein
DNA repair protein rhp51
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Function
Required both for recombination and for the repair of DNA damage caused by X-rays. Binds to single and double-stranded DNA, in the presence of magnesium, and exhibits DNA-dependent ATPase activity. Promotes DNA strand annealing and strand exchange via DNA recombinase activity and forms helical nucleoprotein filaments.
Similarity
Belongs to the RecA family. RAD51 subfamily.
