BRCA1 and HSP90 cooperate in homologous and non-homologous DNA double-strand-break repair and G2/M checkpoint activation
6 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Expression of functional breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) in human breast and ovarian cancers is associated with resistance to platinum-based chemotherapeutics and poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. BRCA1 is a nuclear tumor suppressor that is critical for resolving double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) and interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) by homologous recombination (HR). In vitro, animal and human...
