Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionrad-51 encodes two isoforms of a protein orthologous to S. cerevisiae Rad51p and Dmc1p, and to E. coli RecA, and paralogous to C30A5.2; RAD-51 proteins are probably required for meiotic recombination; while dispensable for viability and meiotic synapsis, RAD-51A/B are required for normal chromosomal morphology, univalent formation, dissociation of chiasmata, hyperresistance of meiotic pachytene nuclei to X-irradiation, and the progress of oocytes through diakinesis; RAD-51A/B require CHK-2, MRE-11, and SPO-11 to localize to foci in late zygotene/early pachytene nuclei, and genetically acts downstream of CHK-2 and SPO-11; RAD-51A/B foci later disappear from homologously synapsed chromosomes.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003305

Automated_descriptionEnables several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; DEAD/H-box RNA helicase binding activity; and catalytic activity, acting on DNA. Involved in several processes, including intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator; meiotic chromosome condensation; and negative regulation of apoptotic process. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome; germ cell nucleus; and site of double-strand break. Expressed in gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Fanconi anemia complementation group R; congenital mirror movement disorder; and ovary epithelial cancer. Is an ortholog of human RAD51 (RAD51 recombinase).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkLa Volpe et al. has also independently termed this gene as Ce-rad-51.
No evidence here in db for links to DDBJ:AB011382 and H36F17. sdm 11/00
BUT H36F17 overlaps Y43C5A, so removing H36F17 sequence connection. sdm 12/00
Sequence connection from [Boulton S, Vidal M]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
