Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer-associated gene 1 (BRCA1) regulates the duplication and the function of centrosomes in breast cells. We have previously shown that BRCA1 ubiquitin ligase activity directly inhibits centrosome-dependent microtubule nucleation. However, there is a paradox because centrosome microtubule nucleation potential is highest during mitosis, a phase when BRCA1 is most abundant at the centrosome. In this study,...
