Disease relevance of RAD50

 

High impact information on RAD50

  • RAD50 function is essential for telomere maintenance in Arabidopsis [2].
  • We have identified and characterized an Arabidopsis thaliana rad50 mutant plant containing a T-DNA insertion in the AtRAD50 gene and showing both meiotic and DNA repair defects [2].
  • The Rad50/Mre11/Xrs2 protein complex acts at DNA ends and is implicated in both homologous and non-homologous recombination [3].
  • We have isolated a rad50 mutant of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana and show here that it has a somatic hyper-recombination phenotype in planta [3].
  • The Rad50 protein is involved in the cellular response to DNA-double strand breaks (DSBs), including the detection of damage, activation of cell-cycle checkpoints, and DSB repair via recombination [1].
