| Relevance: | X-Ray Repair Cross Complementing 2 (XRCC2) is a RAD51 paralog. RAD51 is a eukaryotic homologue of E. coli RecA, a recombinase, and a component of the homologous recombination DNA repair pathway. RAD51 forms a nucleoprotein filament (through binding RAD52 and single stranded DNA that are exposed following double strand breaks) that initiates recombination. XRCC2 is also a component of the homologous recombination pathway. |
