Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination (HR) removes DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and preserves stressed DNA replication forks. Successful HR execution requires the tumor suppressor BRCA2, which harbors distinct DNA-binding domains (DBDs): one that possesses three oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB) folds (OB-DBD) and another residing in the C-terminal recombinase binding domain (CTRB-DBD). Here, we employ...
