Abstract
The N-terminal region of BRCA2 has the capacity to activate transcription when fused to a heterologous DNA binding domain and includes a segment with amino acid similarity to the JNK-docking site in the cellular JUN protein. However, unlike JUN, we have determined that this region of BRCA2 neither interacts with nor serves as a substrate for JNK, or any other kinase that can be detected in extracts from either fibroblasts or epithelial cells. While this clearly does not rule out a transcriptional role for BRCA2, our findings indicate that BRCA2 is not regulated by the JNK pathway in a manner analogous to JUN.
