"Expression of human RAD52 confers resistance to ionizing radiation in mammalian cells." |

Pubmed ID: 7797537
Abstract:
| Processing of mutagenic DNA damages by the double strand breaks (DSB) in eukaryotes is most likely achieved by multiple pathways, including homologous recombination. Although RAD52 has been shown to be important for DSB repair in yeasts, its role in DSB repair in mammalian cells has not been demonstrated. This study reports for the first time that the overexpression of human RAD52 confers enhanced resistance to gamma-rays and induces homologous intrachromosomal recombination in cultured monkey cells. Recombination frequency synergistically increased by the combination of overexpression of RAD52 and ionizing radiation. These observations suggest that homologous recombination mediated by RAD52 is involved in double-stranded break repair in mammalian cells. |
