Description
Rhp51 protein of Schizosaccharomyces pombe (fission yeast) is a functional and structural homolog of E.coli RecA protein and Rad51 proteins of eukaryotes, which play a major role in genetic recombination and recombination repair by mediating strand exchange reaction between homologous DNA strands.

Fig. 2 Rhp51 foci formation observed after DNA damage:
S. pombe cells without or with MMS (0.025%) treatment for 1 h were processed for indirect immunofluorescence staining with anti-Rhp51 antibody (1/500 dilution). The Rhp51 foci formation is induced by DNA-damage treatment with MMS. |
