New publication from the Löbrich lab about DSB repair pathway choice regulated by BRCA2 and RAD52
11-10-2021
This interesting publication by the Löbrich lab investigates the regulation of double-strand break repair pathway choice by BRCA2 and RAD52. The researchers uncovered RAD51-independent roles of RAD52 and BRCA2 in restricting polymerase theta-mediated end joining (TMEJ) until the onset of mitosis by blockage of DNA polymerase POLθ. These findings will help understanding the synthetic lethality network of BRCA2-defective cells. Read the full paper here.
