Scope and Contents

Contents

BRCA2 is a tumor suppressor that interacts with RAD51 and functions in homologous recombination, but understanding its precise functions has been hampered by difficulties in purifying such a large protein. Now purified full-length human BRCA2 is shown to bind ∼6 molecules of RAD51 and to promote RAD51 binding to RPA-covered ssDNA in a manner stimul...
