Chromosome stability, DNA recombination and the BRCA2 tumour suppressor.

University of Cambridge, CRC Department of Oncology, The Cambridge Institute for Medical Research, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2XY, UK. arv22@cam.ac.uk

The BRCA2 tumour suppressor works in DNA recombination and repair pathways to preserve genome integrity. Recent progress provides fresh insights into its role as a regulator of the Rad51 recombination protein, underpinning a model in which BRCA2's involvement in chromosome stability and tumour suppression arises from its participation in recombinational processes essential for DNA replication.
