"BRCA1 is an important tumor suppressor gene associated with inherited breast and ovarian cancers. In this investigation, two novel BRCA1 splicing variants were cloned from breast cancer cell line ZR-75-30," scientists writing in the journal Biochemistry - Moscow report. "These transcripts, named BRCA1-PI21-Delta 2-21 and BRCA1-Delta 2-14, lacked most exons of full length BRCA1 gene, but maintained the original reading frame. We also demonstrated the presence of BRCA1-PI21-Delta 2-21 in several human cell lines. Expression of both variants fused with green fluorescent protein (GFP) showed that they targeted different subcellular compartments in the transfected...
