Central to HR is the RAD51 recombinase, whose assembly into a nucleoprotein filament is governed by five RAD51 paralogs (RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, XRCC2, XRCC3). Mutations in any of these proteins predispose individuals to multiple cancers or genetic disorders. These paralogs are thought to form two functionally separate complexes, BCDX2 and CX3, that act independently at different stages of HR.
