Breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein

Matched no rule. Shown as-is rather than assigned a class by guesswork. Values below are reported as measured; because this is not a molecular target, they are not treated as affinities anywhere on this site.

What this target is

Its function as UniProt states it, where in a cell the protein is found, and which cell types and tissues transcribe its gene.

Protein

BRCA1_HUMANBRCA1Homo sapiens

Breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that specifically mediates the formation of 'Lys-6'-linked polyubiquitin chains and plays a central role in DNA repair by facilitating cellular responses to DNA damage10500182,12887909,12890688,14976165,16818604,17525340,19261748. It is unclear whether it also mediates the formation of other types of polyubiquitin chains12890688. The BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimer coordinates a diverse range of cellular pathways such as DNA damage repair, ubiquitination and transcriptional regulation to maintain genomic stability12890688,14976165,20351172. Regulates centrosomal microtubule nucleation18056443. Required for appropriate cell cycle arrests after ionizing irradiation in both the S-phase and the G2 phase of the cell cycle10724175,11836499,12183412,19261748. Required for FANCD2 targeting to sites of DNA damage12887909. Inhibits lipid synthesis by binding to inactive phosphorylated ACACA and preventing its dephosphorylation16326698. Contributes to homologous recombination repair (HRR) via its direct interaction with PALB2, fine-tunes recombinational repair partly through its modulatory role in the PALB2-dependent loading of BRCA2-RAD51 repair machinery at DNA breaks19369211. Component of the BRCA1-RBBP8 complex which regulates CHEK1 activation and controls cell cycle G2/M checkpoints on DNA damage via BRCA1-mediated ubiquitination of RBBP816818604. Acts as a transcriptional activator20160719

What it acts with

STRING’s highest-confidence human functional partners. The combined score mixes several kinds of evidence, so each channel is shown separately — a partner supported by experiment is a different claim from one supported only by text mining, and for a receptor this is where its coupling appears as evidence rather than as assertion.
