    LC8 enhances 53BP1 foci through heterogeneous bridging of 53BP1 oligomers

    Jesse Howe, Douglas Walker ... Elisar J Barbar
    The oligomerization domain of 53BP1, a key DNA repair protein, is a trimer which binds the dimeric hub protein LC8 by a novel mechanism to form dynamic heterogeneous complexes.
