In fission yeast two RAD52 homologs have been identified, rad22A(+) and rad22B(+). Two-hybrid experiments and GST pull-down assays revealed physical interaction between Rad22A and Rad22B, which is dependent on the N-terminal regions. Interaction with Rhp51 is dependent on the C-terminal parts of either protein. Both Rad22A and Rad22B also interact with RPA. The expression of rad22B(+) in mitotically dividing cells is very low in comparison with rad22A(+) but is strongly enhanced after induction of meiosis, in contrast to rad22A(+). Rad22B mutant cells are not hypersensitive to DNA-damaging agents (X-rays, UV and cisplatin) and display normal levels of recombination. In these respects the Schizosaccharomyces pombe rad22B mutant resembles the weak phenotype of vertebrate cells deficient for RAD52. Mutation of rad22A(+) leads to severe sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents and to defects in recombination. In a rad22Arad22B double mutant a further increase in sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents and additional mitotic recombination defects were observed. The data presented here indicate that Rad22A and Rad22B have overlapping roles in repair and recombination, although specialized functions for each protein cannot be excluded.
