Summary
RAD54L (RAD54 like, HGNC:9826) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p34.1, encoding DNA repair and recombination protein RAD54-like (Q92698). Multifunctional ATPase that plays a role in homologous recombination (HR) which is a major pathway for repairing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gaps, and stalled or collapsed replication forks. In precision oncology, RAD54L Mutation confers sensitivity to Olaparib in Castration-resistant Prostate Carcinoma (CIViC Level A).
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the DEAD-like helicase superfamily, and shares similarity with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad54, a protein known to be involved in the homologous recombination and repair of DNA. This protein has been shown to play a role in homologous recombination related repair of DNA double-strand breaks. The binding of this protein to double-strand DNA induces a DNA topological change, which is thought to facilitate homologous DNA paring, and stimulate DNA recombination. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.

Function. Multifunctional ATPase that plays a role in homologous recombination (HR) which is a major pathway for repairing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gaps, and stalled or collapsed replication forks. Acts as a molecular motor during the homology search and guides RAD51 ssDNA along a donor dsDNA thereby changing the homology search from the diffusion-based mechanism to a motor-guided mechanism. Also plays an essential role in RAD51-mediated synaptic complex formation which consists of three strands encased in a protein filament formed once homology is recognized. Once DNA strand exchange occured, dissociates RAD51 from nucleoprotein filaments formed on dsDNA.
Subunit / interactions. Homohexamer. Interacts (via N-terminus) with RAD51; RAD51 nucleoprotein filament stimulate RAD54L ATPase activity. Interacts with NAP1L1. Interacts with BRD9; this interaction orchestrates RAD51-RAD54 complex formation.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Post-translational modifications. Acetylated. Acetylation promotes interaction with BRD9, and subsequently with RAD54, which is essential for homologous recombination (HR). Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation at Ser-572 by NEK1 specifically in G2 phase allows efficient removal of RAD51 filaments from DNA.
Induction. Expression increases approximately 3-fold in late G1 phase compared to other phases of the cell cycle.
Similarity. Belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family.
