[Cell phenotypes of a mutant in the gene encoding a Rad51 paralog in fission yeast].
The discovery of three Rad51 paralogs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Rad55, Rad57, and Dmc1), four in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Rhp55, Rhp57, Rlp 1, and Dmc 1), and six in human (Rad51 B, Rad51 C, Rad51 D, Xrcc2, Xrcc3, and Dmcl) indicate the functional diversity and specialization of RecA-like proteins in the line from the lower to higher organisms. This paper reports characterization of a number of mitotic and meiotic phenotypes of the cells mutant in rlpl gene, encoding a paralog of Rad5 1, in fission yeasts. No evident role of Rlp I protein in the repair of spontaneous lesions emerging during mating type switching was found. Rlpl does not interact physically with Dmcl. An elevated expression of rhp51 has a dominant negative effect on the cell survivability of rlpl mutant exposed to a DNA-damaging agent. We assume that Rlp 1 acts at the stages of recombination connected with disassembling of the nucleoprotein filament formed by Rhp51 protein.
