| Primary Identifier | IPR013632 | Type | Domain |
| Short Name | DNA_recomb/repair_Rad51_C |
| description | This domain is found at the C terminus of DNA repair and recombination protein Rad51, and eukaryotic and archaeal Rad51-like proteins. It is critical for DNA binding []. Rad51 is a homologue of the bacterial RecA protein. Rad51 and RecA share a core ATPase domain.Unlike eubacteria, several archaeal species have two recA/RAD51-like genes, called RadA and RadB. Among eukaryotes, yeast contain four RAD51-like genes (RAD51, DMC1, RAD55/rhp55, and RAD57/rhp57). In vertebrate animals and plants, there are different RAD51-like genes: RAD51, RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, DMC1, XRCC2, and XRCC3 []. |
