Abstract excerpt
Cancer-predisposing missense mutations in the RING domain of BRCA1 primarily target Zn(2+)-liganding residues. Here we report on the structural consequences of such mutations introduced into the second Zn(2+) site (Site II) of the BRCA1 RING domain and their effect on the interaction with the BARD1 RING domain. Each of the BRCA1 Site II mutants still interact and form a stable heterodimer with BARD1. Limited...
