Abstract

The breast cancer type-1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1) contributes to genome integrity through homologous recombinational DNA repair and by protecting stalled replication forks from nucleolytic degradation. We recently discovered that fork protection requires a conformational change of BRCA1 unimportant to homologous recombination repair, indicating separate roles for BRCA1 in these pathways.
