AI Article Synopsis

  • The paper discusses research on Rad51 recombinase, an important enzyme in the process of homologous recombination.
  • It analyzes amino acid sequences of Rad51 from 19 different eukaryotic organisms to assess conservation and identity.
  • The findings include a multiple sequence alignment, a percent identity matrix, and a neighbor-joining tree illustrating evolutionary relationships among these organisms.

Article Abstract

This paper contains data related to the research article titled "Characterization of the recombination activities of the Rad51 recombinase" (Kelso et al., in press) [1]. The known and putative amino acid sequence of Rad51, the central enzyme of homologous recombination, from nineteen different higher and lower eukaryotic organisms was analyzed. Here, we show amino acid conservation using a multiple sequence alignment, overall sequence identities using a percent identity matrix, and the evolutionary relationship between organisms using a neighbor-joining tree.
