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 (PubMed:15064416, PubMed:21757780, PubMed:27889449, PubMed:28134932, PubMed:28867292, PubMed:9590181, PubMed:9651580, PubMed:9705271). The MRN complex is involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) via homologous recombination (HR), an error-free mechanism which primarily occurs during S and G2 phases (PubMed:15064416, PubMed:21757780, PubMed:27889449, PubMed:28867292, PubMed:9590181, PubMed:9651580, PubMed:9705271). The complex (1) mediates the end resection of damaged DNA, which generates proper single-stranded DNA, a key initial steps in HR, and is (2) required for the recruitment of other repair factors and efficient activation of ATM and ATR upon DNA damage (PubMed:15064416, PubMed:27889449, PubMed:28867292, PubMed:9590181, PubMed:9651580, PubMed:9705271). The MRN complex possesses single-strand endonuclease activity and double-strand-specific 3'-5' exonuclease activity, which are provided by MRE11, to initiate end resection, which is required for single-strand invasion and recombination (PubMed:11741547, PubMed:9590181, PubMed:9651580, PubMed:9705271). Within the complex, RAD50 is both required to bind DNA ends and hold them in close proximity and regulate the activity of MRE11 (PubMed:11741547, PubMed:12805565, PubMed:28134932). RAD50 provides an ATP-dependent control of MRE11 by positioning DNA ends into the MRE11 active site: ATP-binding induces a large structural change from an open form with accessible MRE11 nuclease sites into a closed form (By similarity). The MRN complex is also required for DNA damage signaling via activation of the ATM and ATR kinases: the nuclease activity of MRE11 is not required to activate ATM and ATR (PubMed:15064416, PubMed:15790808, PubMed:16622404). The MRN complex is also required for the processing of R-loops (PubMed:31537797). In telomeres the MRN complex may modulate t-loop formation (PubMed:10888888).

Activity summary

Rad50 is an important component of the MRN complex with its partners MRE11 and NBS1. This protein plays an important role in DNA double-strand break repair and telomere maintenance. Rad50 also known by its molecular weight of approximately 153 kDa possesses ATPase activity that facilitates the bridging of DNA ends during repair processes. It is expressed in a variety of tissues with higher levels observed in rapidly dividing cells such as those found in testes and lymphoid organs.

Biological function summary

Rad50 contributes to genomic stability by participating in non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR) both of which are DNA repair mechanisms. It is part of the MRN complex a multi-protein assembly that detects DNA breaks and aids in processing and signaling them for repair. This complex acts at the early stages of DNA damage response assisting in the recruitment of other repair enzymes and proteins to the site of DNA lesions.

Pathways

Rad50 is integral to DNA damage response signaling and repair pathways like Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) signaling. The MRN complex activates ATM a kinase that phosphorylates key substrates involved in controlling cell cycle checkpoints and promoting repair of damaged DNA. This relationship positions Rad50 and its complex members as significant participants in maintaining cellular integrity by preventing the accumulation of genetic mutations.

Associated diseases and disorders

Rad50 mutations have links to cancer development due to their effect on genomic instability. Deficiencies in Rad50 or the MRN complex can impair DNA repair leading to an increased risk for neoplastic transformations. Additionally Rad50 interactions with proteins such as p53 a tumor suppressor underline its potential role in the mechanisms behind cancers like breast and ovarian cancer. These connections highlight the importance of Rad50 in understanding disease progression and developing therapeutic strategies.
