Repair of double-stranded DNA breaks that occur spontaneously or under the influence of external factors, are critical for cell survival. Evolutionarily conserved mechanism for error-free recombinational repair plays a major role in maintaining genome integrity. Repair pathway is conservative and has a number of similarities in lower eukaryotes and vertebrates.

In yeast, Rad51 paralogs, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad55-Rad57 and Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rhp55-Rhp57, are mediators of Rad51 nucleoprotein formation. The recently discovered S.
