In a recent report, a new interaction between BRCA2 and DDX5 at DNA breaks has been revealed, promoting unwinding of DNA-RNA hybrids for repair. Interestingly, this interaction is impaired in cells expressing the BRCA2(T207A) missense variant found in breast cancer patients.
In a recent report, we have revealed a new interaction between the BRCA2 DNA repair associated protein (BRCA2) and the DEAD-box helicase 5 (DDX5) at DNA breaks that promotes unwinding DNA-RNA hybrids within transcribed chromatin and favors repair. Interestingly, BRCA2-DDX5 interaction is impaired in cells expressing the BRCA2(T207A) missense variant found in breast cancer patients.
