The BRCA1 ubiquitin ligase and homologous recombination repair

Abstract excerpt

Impairment of homologous recombination (HR), a vital process employed during repair of DNA double strand breaks and stalled DNA replication, provides a valuable opportunity for the cell to become transformed. Once transformed, the impairment turns to be a target for therapy as exemplified by the synthetic lethal strategy such as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor for BRCA1/2-defective breast and...
