Disease relevance of RAD54L

 

High impact information on RAD54L

  • A RAD54 homolog was disrupted in the chicken B cell line DT40, which undergoes immunoglobulin gene conversion and exhibits unusually high ratios of targeted to random integration after DNA transfection [2].
  • Reduced X-ray resistance and homologous recombination frequencies in a RAD54-/- mutant of the chicken DT40 cell line [2].
  • ATM(-/-) cells show altered kinetics of radiation-induced Rad51 and Rad54 focus formation [3].
  • To investigate the distinctive as well as redundant roles of these two repair pathways, we analyzed the mutants RAD54(-/-), KU70(-/-) and RAD54(-/-)/KU70(-/-), generated from the chicken B-cell line DT40 [1].
  • However, caffeine has a much smaller radiosensitizing effect on RAD54(-/-) cells and has no effect on RAD51-deficient cells [4].
 

Biological context of RAD54L

  • Genetic analyses confirm this suggestion as we have demonstrated an epistatic relationship between 53BP1 and the NHEJ genes, Ku70 and Artemis, but not with Rad54, a gene essential for repair of DSBs by homologous recombination [5].
