Abstract excerpt
Mounting evidence implicates BRCA2 not only in maintenance of genome integrity but also in cell-cycle checkpoints. However, the contribution of BRCA2 in the checkpoints is still far from being understood. Here, we demonstrate that breast cancer cells MX-1 are unable to maintain genome integrity, which results in gross polyploidization. We generated MX-1 clones, stably expressing BRCA2, and found that BRCA2 acts...
