NCBI Protein Information
RAS associated with diabetes protein 51
NCBI Summary
Encodes a homolog of yeast RAD51. Its mRNA is most abundant in early flower buds and is expressed at high levels in exponentially growing cells in suspension cultures and is induced in response to gamma radiation. Also involved in defense gene transcription during plant immune responses.

UniProt Comments
Binds to single and double-stranded DNA and exhibits DNA-dependent ATPase activity. Unwinds duplex DNA . Component of the meiotic recombination pathway. Seems to play a role in mediating chromosome homology search, chromosome pairing and synapsis at early stages and probably chromosome crossing-over at later stages in meiosis. Probably is involved in the repair of meiotic double strand breaks (DBSs) generated by AtSPO11-1 and in homologous recombination. Its function is dispensable for vegetative growth and root mitosis.
