"Ring-fencing" BRCA1 tumor suppressor activity.
@article{Patel2011RingfencingBT, title={"Ring-fencing" BRCA1 tumor suppressor activity.}, author={K. Patel and Gerry P Crossan and Michael R G Hodskinson}, journal={Cancer cell}, year={2011}, volume={20 6}, pages={ 693-5 } }
BRCA1 is a crucial human breast and ovarian cancer tumor suppressor gene. The article by Drost et al. in this issue of Cancer Cell together with a recent paper in Science now provide a clearer picture of how this large and complex protein suppresses tumorigenesis.
