Human Gene RAD50 (ENST00000378823.8) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens RAD50 double strand break repair protein (RAD50), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_005732)
RefSeq Summary (NM_005732): The protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad50, a protein involved in DNA double-strand break repair. This protein forms a complex with MRE11 and NBS1. The protein complex binds to DNA and displays numerous enzymatic activities that are required for nonhomologous joining of DNA ends. This protein, cooperating with its partners, is important for DNA double-strand break repair, cell cycle checkpoint activation, telomere maintenance, and meiotic recombination. Knockout studies of the mouse homolog suggest this gene is essential for cell growth and viability. Mutations in this gene are the cause of Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like disorder.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments.

  ID: RAD50_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=DNA repair protein RAD50; Short=hRAD50; EC=3.6.-.-;
FUNCTION: Component of the MRN complex, which plays a central role in double-strand break (DSB) repair, DNA recombination, maintenance of telomere integrity and meiosis. The complex possesses single-strand endonuclease activity and double-strand- specific 3'-5' exonuclease activity, which are provided by MRE11A. RAD50 may be required to bind DNA ends and hold them in close proximity. This could facilitate searches for short or long regions of sequence homology in the recombining DNA templates, and may also stimulate the activity of DNA ligases and/or restrict the nuclease activity of MRE11A to prevent nucleolytic degradation past a given point. The complex may also be required for DNA damage signaling via activation of the ATM kinase. In telomeres the MRN complex may modulate t-loop formation.
COFACTOR: Binds 1 zinc ion per homodimer (By similarity).
SUBUNIT: Component of the MRN complex composed of two heterodimers RAD50/MRE11A associated with a single NBN. Component of the BASC complex, at least composed of BRCA1, MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, ATM, BLM, RAD50, MRE11A and NBN. Found in a complex with TERF2. Interacts with RINT1. Interacts with BRCA1 via its N-terminal domain. Interacts with DCLRE1C/Artemis.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Chromosome, telomere. Note=Localizes to discrete nuclear foci after treatment with genotoxic agents.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed at very low level in most tissues, except in testis where it is expressed at higher level. Expressed in fibroblasts.
DOMAIN: The zinc-hook, which separates the large intramolecular coiled coil regions, contains 2 Cys residues that coordinate one molecule of zinc with the help of the 2 Cys residues of the zinc- hook of another RAD50 molecule, thereby forming a V-shaped homodimer. The two heads of the homodimer, which constitute the ATP-binding domain, interact with the MRE11A homodimer (By similarity).
PTM: Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR (By similarity).
DISEASE: Defects in RAD50 are the cause of Nijmegen breakage syndrome-like disorder (NBSLD) [MIM:613078]; also called NBS-like disorder or RAD50 deficiency. NBSLD is a disorder similar to Nijmegen breakage syndrome and characterized by chromosomal instability, radiation sensitivity, microcephaly, growth retardation, short stature and bird-like face. Immunodeficiency is absent.
MISCELLANEOUS: In case of infection by adenovirus E4, the MRN complex is inactivated and degraded by viral oncoproteins, thereby preventing concatenation of viral genomes in infected cells.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the SMC family. RAD50 subfamily.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 zinc-hook domain.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAH62603.1; Type=Miscellaneous discrepancy; Note=Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence;

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
