Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor protein BARD1 plays a dual role in response to genotoxic stress: DNA repair as a BARD1-BRCA1 heterodimer and induction of apoptosis in a BRCA1-independent manner. We have constructed a series of BARD1 deletion mutants and analysed their cellular distribution and capacity to induce apoptosis. As opposed to previous studies suggesting an exclusively nuclear localization of BARD1, we found, both...
