The RAD51 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a RecA like protein, which is involved in the recombinational repair of double strand breaks. We have isolated the RAD51 homologue, rhp51+, of the distantly related yeast strain Schizosaccharomyces pombe by heterologous hybridization. DNA sequence analysis of the rhp51+ gene revealed an open reading frame of 365 amino acids. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of RAD51 and rhp51+ showed a high level of conservation: 69% identical amino acids. ...[more]
