Molecular Pathways: Understanding the Role of Rad52 in Homologous Recombination for Therapeutic Advancement
17 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
The Rad52 protein was largely ignored in humans and other mammals when the mouse knockout revealed a largely "no-effect" phenotype. However, using synthetic lethal approaches to investigate context-dependent function, new studies have shown that Rad52 plays a key survival role in cells lacking the function of the breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1)-BRCA2 pathway of homologous recombination....
