Chromosome stability, DNA recombination and the BRCA2 tumour suppressor.

ABSTRACT

The BRCA2 tumour suppressor works in DNA recombination and repair pathways to preserve genome integrity. Recent progress provides fresh insights into its role as a regulator of the Rad51 recombination protein, underpinning a model in which BRCA2's involvement in chromosome stability and tumour suppression arises from its participation in recombinational processes essential for DNA replication.
