Tumor suppressor BRCA2 is known to stabilize and restart stalled DNA replication forks. Here the authors show that BRCA2 is recruited to the replication fork through its interaction with MCM10 and inhibits Primase-Polymerase-mediated repriming, lesion bypass and single strand DNA gap formation after DNA damage.
