Human Rad51 protein is a functional and structural homolog of E. coli RecA protein, which plays a major role in genetic recombination and recombination repair by mediating strand exchange reaction between homologous DNA strands. Rad51 functionally and physically interacts with its paralogs Dmc1, Rad51B, Rad51C, Rad51D, Xrcc2 and Xrcc3, and also with Rad52 in recombination processes. It also interacts with oncogene proteins and tumor suppressors such as BRCA1, BRCA2, and P53 for the maintenance of genome stability. Rad51 protein was highly purified from E. coli over-expressing human Rad51 protein as a recombinant protein. Since the tag was removed from the recombinant protein (it still contains Gly-Ser-His at the N-terminal), it has been shown to retain nuclear filament forming and strand-exchange activity as well as interaction with Rad52.
