A variant Rad51 paralogous gene encoding a protein having an activity of enhancing the sensitivity of cells to a DNA damaging factor; a variant Rad51 paralogous peptide exhibiting the above activity; a transformant cell carrying the above gene; a method of screening a drug having a DNA damaging effect which comprises bringing a test substance into contact with the above transformed cell and evaluating the response of the cell; and a method of screening a DNA damage regulating agent which comprises bringing a test substance into contact with the transformed cell carrying the Rad51 paralogous gene and evaluating the ability of homologous recombination repair. Thus, it becomes possible to screen a drug capable of enhancing the sensitivity of cells to an anticancer agent comprising a DNA damage factor or a drug having a DNA damaging effect which enables more efficacious therapy for cancer.

L'invention concerne un gène paralogue Rad51 variant codant une protéine dont l'activité améliore la sensibilité de cellules au facteur de détérioration de l'ADN; un peptide paralogue Rad51 variant manifestant une telle activité; une cellule transformante portant ledit gène. Elle concerne également un procédé de criblage d'un médicament ayant un effet détériorant sur l'ADN, qui consiste à placer une substance d'essai au contact de la cellule transformée, puis à évaluer la réponse de la cellule; et un procédé de criblage d'un agent régulateur de la détérioration de l'ADN, qui consiste à placer une substance d'essai au contact de la cellule transformée portant le gène paralogue Rad51, puis à évaluer la possibilité d'une réparation par recombinaison homologue. On peut ainsi cribler un médicament pouvant améliorer la sensibilité de cellules à un agent anticancéreux comprenant un facteur de détérioration de l'ADN, ou un médicament ayant un effet détériorant sur l'ADN qui assure un traitement plus efficace contre le cancer.
