Background	Properly controlled recombination between homologous DNA molecules (Homologous Recombination - HR) is essential for the maintenance of genome stability and for the prevention of tumorigenesis. RAD51 is a mammalian homologue of yeast RAD51 and bacterial RecA and, like its counterparts, plays a central role in HR. RAD51 coats ssDNA to form a nucleoprotein filament that invades and pairs with a homologous region in duplex DNA. It can then activate strand exchange to generate a crossover between the juxtaposed DNA molecules (1, 2). In addition to RAD51, these steps require the coordinated action of a number of other homologous-recombination proteins, including the RP-A protein, which binds single-stranded DNA, RAD52, which can bind DNA ends, anneal complementary single-stranded DNA molecules and enhance the specificity of RAD51, and a number of RAD51 paralogs (3). The tumour-suppressor proteins BRCA1 and BRCA2 colocalize with RAD51 in DNA-damage-induced nuclear foci (4). BRCA2 has been shown to interact directly with RAD51 (5) and thus plays a direct role in repair by HR, through control of the availability and function of the central mediator, RAD51.Recombinant His tagged RAD51 was expressed in a strain of E. coli and purified by affinity and FPLC chromatography.

Target Details

Target Function	Plays an important role in homologous strand exchange, a key step in DNA repair through homologous recombination (HR). Binds to single and double-stranded DNA and exhibits DNA-dependent ATPase activity. Catalyzes the recognition of homology and strand exchange between homologous DNA partners to form a joint molecule between a processed DNA break and the repair template. Binds to single-stranded DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to form nucleoprotein filaments which are essential for the homology search and strand exchange. Part of a PALB2-scaffolded HR complex containing BRCA2 and RAD51C and which is thought to play a role in DNA repair by HR. Plays a role in regulating mitochondrial DNA copy number under conditions of oxidative stress in the presence of RAD51C and XRCC3. Also involved in interstrand cross-link repair.

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
