RAD55-RAD57 complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Role in the early stages of the homologous recombination DNA damage repair process. Recruited by the Shu complex (CPX-3087) to the sites of single-stranded DNA gaps left by replication-blocking lesions to complete error-free DNA-damage tolerance. Counteracts the anti-recombination activity of the SRS2 helicase (P12954) by associating with the RAD51 (P25454)-ssDNA filament, rendering it more stable than a nucleoprotein filament containing RAD51 alone. stimulates RAD51 filament assembly onto RPA-coated single-stranded DNA. The RAD51/RAD55-AD57 co-filament resists disruption by the SRS2 anti-recombinase by blocking SRS2 translocation. The complex is also involved in double-strand break repair.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
