University of Michigan Researchers Solve Structure of BRCA2 Protein Complex Important in DNA Repair
August 14, 2021
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Aug. 14 (TNSRes) -- The University of Michigan issued the following news release:

The initials BRCA2 may be best known for a gene associated with many cases of breast cancer, and the protein encoded by the BRCA2 gene is critical to repairing breaks in DNA.

The breakdown of this interaction is a hallmark of many cancers. Now, U-M scientists have determined the structure of a complex of two proteins--BRCA2 together with MEILB2--that allows repairs to . . .
