A cell cycle-dependent BRCA1–UHRF1 cascade regulates DNA double-strand break repair pathway choice

BRCA1 is a key regulator of DNA double-strand break repair, functioning to promote homologous recombination and repress non-homologous end-joining. Here the authors show that the ubiquitin ligase UHRF1 is recruited to breaks by BRCA1, where it targets RIF1 and thereby facilitates recombination.
