Abstract:
The BRCT repeats of the breast and ovarian cancer predispositionprotein BRCA1 are essential for tumor suppression. Phosphopeptideaffinity proteomic analysis identified a protein, Abraxas, thatdirectly binds the BRCA1 BRCT repeats through a phospho-Ser-X-X-Phemotif. Abraxas binds BRCA1 to the mutual exclusion of BACH1(BRCA1-associated C-terminal helicase) and CtIP (CtBP-interactingprotein), forming a third type of BRCA1 complex. Abraxas recruitsthe ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM)containing proteinRAP80 to BRCA1. Both Abraxas and RAP80 were required for DNAdamage resistance, G2-M checkpoint control, and DNA repair.RAP80 was required for optimal accumulation of BRCA1 on damagedDNA (foci) in response to ionizing radiation, and the UIM domainsalone were capable of foci formation. The RAP80-Abraxas complexmay help recruit BRCA1 to DNA damage sites in part through recognitionof ubiquitinated proteins.
