- W4313365796 abstract "Abstract Mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA2, greatly increase an individual’s lifetime risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers. BRCA2 suppresses tumor formation by potentiating DNA repair via homologous recombination. Central to recombination is the assembly of a RAD51 nucleoprotein filament, which forms on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) generated at or near the site of chromosomal damage. However, Replication Protein-A (RPA) rapidly binds to and continuously sequesters this ssDNA, imposing a kinetic barrier to RAD51 filament assembly that suppresses unregulated recombination. Recombination mediator proteins––of which BRCA2 is the defining member in humans ––alleviate this kinetic barrier to catalyze RAD51 filament formation. We combined microfluidics, microscopy, and micromanipulation to directly measure both the binding of full-length BRCA2 to––and the assembly of RAD51 filaments on––a region of RPA-coated ssDNA within individual DNA molecules designed to mimic a resected DNA lesion common in replication-coupled recombinational repair. We demonstrate that a dimer of RAD51 is minimally required for spontaneous nucleation; however, growth self-terminates below the diffraction limit. BRCA2 accelerates nucleation of RAD51 to a rate that approaches the rapid association of RAD51 to naked ssDNA, thereby overcoming the kinetic block imposed by RPA. Furthermore, BRCA2 eliminates the need for the rate-limiting nucleation of RAD51 by chaperoning a short pre-assembled RAD51 filament onto the ssDNA complexed with RPA. Therefore, BRCA2 regulates recombination by initiating RAD51 filament formation. Significance Despite decades of genetic and cell biological studies, mechanistic biochemical analyses of human BRCA2 function in recombinational DNA repair have only been possible since the purification of full-length BRCA2. These mechanistic studies crucially inform with respect to the molecular function of BRCA2 in genome maintenance. Here, we use single-molecule methods to visualize the assembly of RAD51 on individual RPA-coated ssDNA molecules and to see how this process is regulated by the tumor suppressor protein, BRCA2. We show that BRCA2 serves as a chaperone to nucleate RAD51 and deliver it to RPA-coated ssDNA. This work advances understanding of the molecular functions of BRCA2 and, consequently, the molecular etiology of breast cancer in an important way." @default.
