Deletion in RAD52 causes a 75% reduction in mean replicative lifespan in PSY316 strain [10207108]. Similiar reduction of lifespan occurs in strains W3031-A and W303R [M. Baeberlein, M. McVey, and L. Guarente, unpublished].
RAD51 is required for formation of extrachromosomal rDNA circles [10207108], but not for replication fork pasuing nor DNA breakage with the rDNA [10693764].
Mean: -75
