CDK-dependent phosphorylation of BRCA2 as a regulatory mechanism for recombinational repair.

Inherited mutations in BRCA2 are associated with a predisposition to early-onset breast cancers. The underlying basis of tumorigenesis is thought to be linked to defects in DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination. Here we show that the carboxy-terminal region of BRCA2, which inter...
