Abstract excerpt
Mutations within the tumor suppressor BRCA1 cause the majority of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. The BRCA1 protein is an important regulator of DNA double-strand break repair, and BRCA1-deficient cells are highly sensitive to ionizing radiation. Furthermore, BRCA1 function may contribute to enforcement of the G(2) cell cycle checkpoint. E3-ubiquitin ligase activity is the only known enzymatic activity of...
