NCBI Protein Information
DNA repair-recombination protein (RAD50)
NCBI Summary
Encodes the Arabidopsis RAD50 homologue. It is involved in double strand break repair. Component of the meiotic recombination complex that processes meiotic double-strand-breaks to produce single-stranded DNA ends, which act in the homology search and recombination. Accumulates in the nucleus during meiotic prophase, a process regulated by PHS1.

UniProt Comments
Implicated in double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Involved in telomere maintenance. Involved in telomerase action on chromosome ends. Required during meiosis for both male and female gametophytic development, for pairing and synapsis of homologous chromosomes during the early stages of meiotic recombination, especially during the pachytene stage of the first division.
