Homologous recombination (HR) is an important pathway for the elimination of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and other deleterious lesions from chromosomes. The eukaryotic HR reaction is mediated by RAD51 . RAD51AP1 (RAD51 associated protein 1), so named because it can interact with human RAD51, is a vertebrate-specific protein that enhances the ability of RAD51 to mediate the D-loop reaction. RAD51AP1 knockdown by siRNA leads to cellular sensitivity to DNA damaging agents and elevated DNA damage-induced chromatid breaks. Enhancement of the RAD51 recombinase activity by RAD51AP1 is contingent upon physical interaction of the two HR factors .
