Tumor suppressor PALB2 is known to interact with BRCA2 and promote homologous recombination in vivo. Now PALB2's activities have been studied, together with a BRCA2 chimeric protein, revealing that PALB2 binds D-loop structures, interacts directly with RAD51 and promotes strand invasion synergistically with BRCA2.
