title: A species-specific interaction of rad51 and rad52 proteins in eukaryotes.
abstract: The structures and properties of the Rad51 and Rad52 proteins in eukaryotes are described. Both proteins form a complex and are responsible for recombination and repair reactions. The N-terminal region of the Rad51 protein interacts with the C-terminal region of the Rad52 protein. Species-specific interaction is probably essential for the functioning of these genes.
