Interactions between canine RAD51 and full length or truncated BRCA2 BRC repeats

抄録

In humans, mutations of the breast cancer susceptibility protein BRCA2 interact with recombinase RAD51 and increase the risk of cancer. This interaction occurs via a series of eight BRC repeat sequences in BRCA2. A mammalian two-hybrid assay using individual BRC repeats demonstrated that all the repeats except BRC6 bind RAD51 strongly (BRC1, 2 and 4), with intermediate strength (BRC8), or weakly (BRC3, 5 and 7). In serial deletion mutation experiments, the binding strengths were increased when the C-terminal BRC repeat was removed from BRC1-8, BRC1-5 and BRC1-3. These results provide an understanding of the basic function of canine BRCA2 and may be helpful to estimate the effect of missense or truncation mutations in canine mammary tumours.
