A complex of BRCA2 and PP2A-B56 is required for DNA repair by homologous recombination

BRCA2 plays a central role in facilitating DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR). Here the authors describe how BRCA2 forms a complex with the protein phosphatase PP2A-B56 in response to DNA damage, which is required for HR.
