Immunofluorescent detection of Rad51 foci formation induced by DNA damage. Normal human diploid cells were irradiated by X-ray (0.5 Gly) and after incubation of 6 hr, the cells were fixed and immuno-stained by using ab63801 (x100 dilution) as the primary antibody and Alexa594 labeled anti-rabbit antibody as the secondary antibody.

2BN hTert (XLF-deficient) human fibroblasts were fixed for 30 min with methanol at −20°C, dipped for 1 min in ice cold acetone for permeabilization and washed three times for 10 min with PBS/1% FCS. Non-specific antigens were blocked for 30 min in 5% BSA in PBS/1% FCS. Samples were incubated with ab63801 (1∶15000) in PBS/1% FCS over night at 4°C, washed three times in PBS/1% FCS and incubated for 1 h at room temperature with AlexaFluor 488 conjugated secondary antibodies (1 : 500). After three times of washing in PBS, cells were DAPI stained.
Image shows 2BN hTert (XLF-deficient) human fibroblasts analyzed 2 h post IR with 1 Gy.

TCL1A affects ATM functions and cooperates with ATM deficiency. a Protracted TCL1A overexpression in HH T-cell leukemia cells mediates telomere shortening (flow-FISH; Supplementary Fig. 17b–d for controls and qRT-PCR based validations, mean with SEM; Student's t-test). b H2DCFDA-based measurements of ROS induction upon γ-irradiation (10 Gy) comparing parental Hut78 T-cell leukemia cells to their derivatives of stable TCL1A transfection. Left : examples of H2DCFDA fluorescence readout 48 h post irradiation, one representative experiment shown. Right : quantification of mean fluorescence intensity (MFI, n = 3 biological replicates, mean with SEM) relative to Hut78 cells without irradiation (p = 0.017, Student's t-test). c Enforced TCL1A expression in HH cells (doxycycline-inducible iHH) mediates higher peak focus counts of DSB marks (γH2AX, RAD51, and TP53BP1) and their impaired resolution in time-lines after washout from a preceding 1 h of Etoposide exposure. Left : quantified focus counts (mean with SEM; Student's t-test, ****p<0.0001, ***p<0.001, **p<0.01, *p<0.05); right : representative examples (scale bar = 7.5 µm; controls in Supplementary Fig. 17f–h). d Left : setup of MEFs (Rosa-CreERT2;ATMfl/wt and Rosa-CreERT2;ATMfl/KD)76 stably transfected to express human (h)TCL1A. ATM loss was induced through Tamoxifen treatment over 3 passages resulting in ATM−/wt and ATM−/KD cells. Immunoblots in Supplementary Fig. 18a verify reduced ATM protein and overexpression of TCL1A. The KD-mutations D2880A/N2885K correspond to D2870A/N2875K in human ATM. Right : γ-irradiation reduced cell viability (proliferation) as per MTT assay (48 h) with TCL1A mediating a protective effect in scenarios of genetic ATM disruption (mean with SEM; Student's t-tests). e In vivo model of overexpression of hTCL1A and inducible ATM-abrogation. Left : hematopoetic stem cells (HSCs) of Rosa-CreERT2;ATMfl/fl mice were retrovirally transduced with hTCL1A or a GFP control vector and transplanted into irradiated syngeneic hosts. Recombination of the ATM locus (fl/fl) was induced by Tamoxifen (TM) injections starting 12 weeks after transplantation (1 mg/day i.p. for 5 consecutive days; further details in Supplementary Fig. 18c, d and Methods section). Middle : Kaplan–Meier curve showing accelerated T-cell lymphoma/leukemia onset and shorter animal survival of the ATMfl/fl/hTCL1Atg genotype (log-rank tests, time from transplantation to event). Right : evidence of hTCL1A-protein positive T-cells (flow cytometry) in blood and thymus involved by a CD4+/8+ T-cell tumor (ATMfl/fl/hTCL1Atg). H/E stains (scale bar left = 100 µm; right = 400 µm) of one exemplary thymic T-cell lymphoma (ATMfl/fl/hTCL1Atg)

Biological function summary
Processes involving RAD51 are essential for genomic stability and cellular response to DNA damage. RAD51 often functions as part of a repair complex along with other proteins such as BRCA2 and RPA. This complex binds and stabilizes single-stranded DNA during search and strand invasion which is vital for successful recombination repair. Such repair mechanisms are important for preventing chromosomal aberrations and maintaining genetic integrity.
Pathways
RAD51's activity fits into the broader context of DNA damage repair pathways notably the homologous recombination (HR) pathway. This pathway is important for repairing double-strand breaks utilizing other proteins such as ATM and ATR to signal repair processes. Furthermore RAD51 interacts with various members of the BRCA protein family combining efforts to ensure proper DNA damage response and repair.
