BRCA1

This gene encodes a 190 kD nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The BRCA1 gene contains 22 exons spanning about 110 kb of DNA. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). This gene product associates with RNA polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks, and recombination. Mutations in this gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing plays a role in modulating the subcellular localization and physiological function of this gene. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which are disease-associated mutations, have been described for this gene, but the full-length natures of only some of these variants has been described. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 17, has been identified.

Interaction

Heterodimer with BARD1 (PubMed:11573085, 12890688, 14976165). Part of the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC), which contains BRCA1, MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, ATM, BLM, PMS2 and the MRE11-RAD50-NBN protein (MRN) complex (PubMed:10783165). This association could be a dynamic process changing throughout the cell cycle and within subnuclear domains (PubMed:10783165). Component of the BRCA1-A complex, at least composed of BRCA1, BARD1, UIMC1/RAP80, ABRAXAS1, BRCC3/BRCC36, BABAM2 and BABAM1/NBA1 (PubMed:19261746, 19261748, 19261749, 20351172). Interacts (via the BRCT domains) with ABRAXAS1 (phosphorylated form); this is important for recruitment to sites of DNA damage (PubMed:17525340, 17643121, 17643122, 24316840, 26778126, 23269703). Can form a heterotetramer with two molecules of ABRAXAS1 (phosphorylated form) (PubMed:26778126). Component of the BRCA1-RBBP8 complex (PubMed:16101277). Interacts (via the BRCT domains) with RBBP8 ('Ser-327' phosphorylated form); the interaction ubiquitinates RBBP8, regulates CHEK1 activation, and involves RBBP8 in BRCA1-dependent G2/M checkpoint control on DNA damage (PubMed:16818604, 9811458). Associates with RNA polymerase II holoenzyme (PubMed:9662397). Interacts with SMC1A, NELFB, DCLRE1C, CLSPN (PubMed:11877377, 15096610, 15456891, 11739404). Interacts with CHEK1, CHEK2, BAP1, BRCC3, UBXN1 and PCLAF (PubMed:10724175, 11836499, 14636569, 20351172, 21673012). Interacts (via BRCT domains) with BRIP1 (phosphorylated form) (PubMed:11301010, 15133502, 21473589). Interacts with FANCD2 (ubiquitinated form) (PubMed:11239454). Interacts with H2AX (phosphorylated on 'Ser-140') (PubMed:12419185). Interacts (via the BRCT domains) with ACACA (phosphorylated form); the interaction prevents dephosphorylation of ACACA (PubMed:12360400, 16326698, 16698035, 18452305). Part of a BRCA complex containing BRCA1, BRCA2 and PALB2 (PubMed:19369211). Interacts directly with PALB2; the interaction is essential for its function in HRR (PubMed:19369211, 28319063). Interacts directly with BRCA2; the interaction occurs only in the presence of PALB2 which serves as the bridging protein (PubMed:19369211). Interacts (via the BRCT domains) with LMO4; the interaction represses the transcriptional activity of BRCA1 (PubMed:11751867). Interacts (via the BRCT domains) with CCAR2 (via N-terminus); the interaction represses the transcriptional activator activity of BRCA1 (PubMed:20160719). Interacts with EXD2 (PubMed:26807646). Interacts (via C-terminus) with DHX9; this interaction is direct and links BRCA1 to the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme (PubMed:9662397).
