Functionfunction:Involved in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway of double-stranded DNA, thought to repair chromosomal fragmentation, translocations and deletions. The BCDX2 complex binds single-stranded DNA, single-stranded gaps in duplex DNA and specifically to nicks in duplex DNA.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,similarity:Belongs to the recA family. RAD51 subfamily.,subunit:Interacts with RAD51D. Part of a BCDX2 complex consisting of RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D and XRCC2. Part of a complex consisting of RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, XRCC2 and XRCC3. In the absence of DNA, XRCC2-RAD51D formed a multimeric ring structure. In the presence of single-stranded DNA, XRCC2-RAD51D formed a filamentous structure.,
Subcellular LocationNucleus . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome .
ExpressionBrain,Cervix carcinoma,Testis,
BackgroundX-ray repair cross complementing 2(XRCC2) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the RecA/Rad51-related protein family that participates in homologous recombination to maintain chromosome stability and repair DNA damage. This gene is involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination and it functionally complements Chinese hamster irs1, a repair-deficient mutant that exhibits hypersensitivity to a number of different DNA-damaging agents.
