RAD — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA14G001260, the RAD gene on Camelina sativa chromosome 14, encodes a protein with a PIN-like domain superfamily fold and possesses flap endonuclease activity, 5' flap endonuclease activity, ssDNA and dsDNA binding, and metal binding. The gene is associated with DNA repair and pollen development, and its product localises to the nucleus. It has also been linked to drought tolerance. Related genes in other species link the family to a 3.1.-.- hydrolase activity.
