RAD51 is one of six mitotic human homologs of the E. coli RecA protein (RAD51-Paralogs) that play a central role in homologous recombination and repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Here we demonstrate that RAD51 is important for resistance to cisplatin and mitomycin C in cells expressing the BCR/ABL oncogenic tyrosine kinase. BCR/ABL significantly enhances the expression of RAD51 and several RAD51-Paralogs. RAD51 overexpression is mediated by a STAT5-dependent transcription as well as by inhibition of caspase-3-dependent cleavage. Phosphorylation of the RAD51 Tyr-315 residue by BCR/ABL appears essential for enhanced DSB repair and drug resistance. Induction of the mammalian RecA homologs establishes a unique mechanism for DNA damage resistance in mammalian cells transformed by an oncogenic tyrosine kinase.

Homologous recombination (HR) is a high-fidelity DNA repair pathway that uses a homologous DNA sequence as a template. Recombinase proteins are the central HR players in the three kingdoms of life. RecA/RadA/Rad51 assemble on ssDNA, generated after the processing of double-strand breaks or stalled replication forks into an active and dynamic presynaptic helical nucleofilament.

Background/objectives: Alzheimer's disease (AD), a leading cause of dementia, lacks effective long-term treatments. Current therapies offer temporary relief or fail to halt its progression and are often inaccessible due to cost. AD involves multiple pathological processes, including amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition, insulin resistance, tau protein hyperphosphorylation, and systemic inflammation accelerated by gut microbiota dysbiosis originating from a leaky gut.

is related to the bacterial RecA protein and is best known for its role in homologous recombination-mediated repair of DNA damage. Here, we report an unexpected function of in the maintenance methylation of genomic DNA, a function that is separable from its role in homologous recombination. First, it acts as an inhibitor of the E3 ubiquitin ligase UHRF1.

Background And Aim: Pathogenic Escherichia coli is a known harmful microorganism that takes advantage of favorable conditions to cause various infections in healthcare settings, such as bloodstream infections related to catheters, as well as infections in the urinary and respiratory tracts. E. coli utilizes biofilm development as a means to enhance its virulence and pathogenicity.

Unlabelled: The soluble type I IFN receptor (sIFNAR2) is produced by alternative splicing and is present in body fluids. Although it can modulate IFN-ß activity, its biological role remains unknown.
Methods: An in-silico study was conducted to compare the structure of recombinant human soluble IFNAR2 (r-sIFNAR2) with its native form.
