FIGNL1 strongly binds to RAD51 and localizes to ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage foci. The interaction involves the N-terminal half of FIGNL1, requiring conserved residues 295-344 called FIGNL1's RAD51 binding domain (FRBD). The efficiency of homologous recombination repair (HRR) is impaired in cells with FIGNL1 depletion (Yuan and Chen 2013). The interaction between FIGNL1 and RAD51 is conserved between human and Arabidopsis. The FIGNL1 binding partner FIRRM (also known as Apolo1 or FLIP or C1orf112) does not directly interact with RAD51 but depletion of either FIRRM or FIGNL1 negatively regulates the formation or the turnover of RAD51 foci in Arabidopsis (Fernandes et al. 2018).
