Abstract excerpt
Germ-line mutations of the BRCA2 tumor suppressor gene greatly increase the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers. Here, we show that wild-type BRCA2, but not a tumor-specific truncated mutant BRCA2, synergizes with the nuclear receptor coactivator p160 GRIP1 to enhance transcriptional activation by androgen receptor (AR). BRCA2 not only associates with AR and GRIP1 but also cooperates with both the...
