Gene Description

BRCA1 is a nuclear tumor-suppressor protein that organizes DNA damage responses and homologous-recombination repair through several distinct molecular activities. Its N-terminal RING domain engages ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes in a ligase heterodimer with BARD1, modifying nucleosomal histones and other substrates; ubiquitin linkage and substrate specificity depend on the E2 and biochemical context. Tandem C-terminal BRCT repeats recognize phosphorylated protein motifs, while a central DNA-binding region and protein-interaction interfaces cooperate with BARD1 to promote DNA-end resection and recruitment of repair factors. BRCA1-containing assemblies also influence damage checkpoints, transcriptional regulation and context-dependent centrosome and metabolic responses. Pathogenic germline variants cause hereditary breast and ovarian cancer predisposition.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0004842 ubiquitin-protein transferase activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: BRCA1 is the E2-engaging subunit of the BRCA1–BARD1 RING ubiquitin ligase.
Reason: The phylogenetic assertion agrees with direct biochemical and structural evidence on human BRCA1–BARD1. Purified heterodimer produces K6-linked autoubiquitin in the conditions tested by Wu-Baer and colleagues; other E2 partners support different products. Acceptance does not depend on the erroneous unrelated PMID previously cited in this rationale, and does not claim that the PAINT tree or all donor experiments were independently reread.
GO:0003677 DNA binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: BRCA1 has experimentally demonstrated DNA-binding activity in its central region.
Reason: Purified central BRCA1 fragments bind DNA, and the BRCA1 DNA-binding module contributes to resection stimulation by the intact BRCA1–BARD1 complex. Generic DNA binding is a sound description of these assays. Recruitment through BRCT phosphoprotein recognition is a separate mechanism and does not by itself justify replacing every DNA-binding assertion with damaged DNA binding.

Summary: The BRCA1 RING domain supports ubiquitin ligase activity with BARD1.
Reason: The InterPro-derived activity agrees with direct human heterodimer biochemistry and the structure positioning an E2 enzyme through the BRCA1 RING. It is retained as a distinct source assertion, without treating agreement with another annotation as independent experimental replication.

Functional interaction of BRCA1-associated BARD1 with polyad...
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: BRCA1 association with BARD1 is supported; the recorded partner is BARD1, not CstF-50.
Reason: The GOA partner is Q99728. The original abstract directly studies BARD1-CstF-50 and does not expose the BRCA1-BARD1 assay. Independent PMID:8944023 explicitly identifies BARD1 binding to the BRCA1 N terminus and its disruption by BRCA1 variants. Retain the correct interaction as non-core with that corroboration, without attributing direct CstF-50 binding or the polyadenylation-inhibitory mechanism to BRCA1.

Summary: BRCA1 binds the transcriptional corepressor ZBRK1.
Reason: The abstract explicitly reports BRCA1-ZBRK1 interaction in vitro and in vivo and a nuclear complex at a GADD45 intronic recognition sequence. This supports the recorded Q9GZX5 interaction. Keep the supported binding as non-core; ZBRK1 sequence recognition and repression do not by themselves make BRCA1 a sequence-specific DNA-binding factor.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: BRCA1 BRCT fragments bind COBRA1 and CtIP with distinct responses to cancer-associated variants.
Reason: The cached Results and Figure 5 text report endogenous BRCA1 coimmunoprecipitation with FLAG-COBRA1 in HEK293T cells and GST-fragment pull-downs of both in-vitro-translated COBRA1 and CtIP. M1775R enhances COBRA1 association but abolishes CtIP association in that assay. Both GOA partners are supported; retain the interactions without turning the engineered lac-operator chromatin-unfolding assay into an intrinsic ATPase assertion.

UNDECIDED
Summary: BRCA1-dependent CHK1 activation is established, but the recorded BRCA1-CHK1 binding assay is not exposed in the available abstract.
Reason: The abstract describes CHK1 activation and regulation of G2/M effectors. It does not identify the assay establishing physical binding to the GOA partner O14757. Functional activation alone cannot settle this interaction record. Preserve the curator IPI assertion as UNDECIDED pending its target-specific assay; do not remove it or call it misattributed.

UNDECIDED
Summary: The BRCA1-H2AX interaction requires inspection of the target-specific experiment.
Reason: The recorded partner is P16104/H2AX. The abstract establishes direct binding of the NBS1 FHA/BRCT region to gamma-H2AX and notes that this can occur without NBS1 association with BRCA1. That does not establish that the BRCA1-H2AX IPI row is false, nor does it demonstrate this pair. Keep the assertion unresolved; do not relabel the NBS1 domain experiment as a BRCA1 domain experiment.

MDC1 is a mediator of the mammalian DNA damage checkpoint.
UNDECIDED
Summary: MDC1-dependent BRCA1 recruitment does not by itself resolve the BRCA1-MDC1 physical interaction.
Reason: The abstract reports MDC1 interaction with phosphorylated H2AX and effects on BRCA1 focus formation, but does not describe the BRCA1-Q14676 binding experiment. The relevant full assay is not in this cache. Preserve the source assertion as UNDECIDED rather than infer binding from recruitment or remove it on the basis of the paper focus.

Summary: BRCA1 binds IFI16 through mapped regions in the DNA-damage/apoptosis study.
Reason: The abstract maps BRCA1 residues 502-802 to the IFI16 Pyrin region and distinguishes a binding-deficient IFI16 mutant in cellular apoptosis assays. This supports Q16666 binding. Keep the molecular association without treating every apoptosis effect as an intrinsic enzymatic or universal process function.

Reason: The abstract explicitly describes the human BRCA1 BRCT-phosphopeptide crystal structure, with BACH1 Ser990 phosphorylation and Phe993 anchoring the interface. GO:0050815 is a more informative description of the measured recognition than generic protein binding.

Reason: The abstract reports the human tandem-BRCT complex with the minimal phosphorylated BACH1 peptide and selective disruption of phospho-dependent interactions by variants. Together with the directly mapped Ser990 anchor in PMID:15125843, this supports phosphoserine residue binding. Keep the construct and phospho-dependent recognition limits explicit.

Summary: BRCA1 binds phospho-Abraxas and participates in distinct Abraxas-RAP80, BACH1 and CtIP complexes.
Reason: The abstract directly establishes phospho-motif binding of Abraxas and its bridging of RAP80 to BRCA1, with Abraxas mutually exclusive with BACH1 or CtIP.

Summary: The BRCA1-FANCJ interaction is retained although it is dispensable for the specific cross-link response tested.
Reason: The cached abstract and Introduction/Discussion distinguish FANCJ-BRCA1 association from FANCJ-MLH1 binding and show that eliminating BRCA1 binding does not abolish correction of the tested FA-J ICL response. That functional dispensability does not negate the physical interaction. Independent PMID:11301010 directly supports BRCA1-BACH1 binding.

Reason: The GOA partners are P16104 and Q12888, not RNF8. The abstract describes RNF8-dependent histone ubiquitylation and BRCA1/53BP1 retention at breaks; it does not expose the assays for the two recorded BRCA1 interactions.

Summary: BRCA1 binding to FANCJ is retained with independent direct evidence and a source-access qualification.
Reason: The available Introduction/Discussion treats BRCA1 as an established FANCJ partner, while the new experiments summarized focus on BLM-FANCJ binding independent of BRCA1. PMID:11301010 directly supports the same Q9BX63 interaction.

Reason: The source reports loss of BRCA1 recruitment and E3 activation in Ubc13-deficient cells. This supports the curated activity together with independent purified BRCA1–BARD1 assays. Ubc13 depletion is not the same experiment as a BRCA1-specific ligase-null separation-of-function mutant and is not presented as such.

Reason: The source describes binding of purified BRCA1 central-region fragments to p53 and DNA at low-micromolar affinities.

Reason: BRCA1-containing repair/checkpoint assemblies and perturbation studies support inhibition of mitotic entry after damage.

Acceptance of the broad checkpoint function does not claim a freshly reconstructed PAINT tree or a direct kinase activity for BRCA1.

Summary: BRCA1 is essential for homologous recombination-mediated repair of DNA double-strand breaks. This is the primary tumor suppressor function of BRCA1. The IBA annotation correctly identifies this conserved core function.
Reason: This is the most critical annotation for BRCA1. The protein orchestrates HR through multiple mechanisms including DNA end resection, competition with 53BP1 for repair pathway choice, and facilitation of RAD51 loading. Deficiency in HR repair is the primary mechanism of BRCA1-associated cancer predisposition. This IBA annotation appropriately captures the conserved and central function.

Summary: BRCA1–BARD1 is a RING E3 ubiquitin ligase.
Reason: The EC-derived assertion agrees with purified heterodimer biochemistry and nucleosome structures.

Reason: The broad DNA-repair assertion is biologically correct.

Restricting this general source assertion to homologous recombination alone would unnecessarily narrow the evidence; the core synthesis provides the mechanistic detail.

Reason: BRCA1 is indeed involved in DNA recombination, specifically through homologous recombination. While the more specific HR annotation is preferred, this general recombination term is not incorrect and captures a broad aspect of BRCA1 function.

Summary: The original BRCA1 self-association assay needs verification.
Reason: The accessible abstract describes discovery of BARD1 and its interaction with BRCA1; this is not a BAP1 paper. It does not expose the assay underlying the separately curated BRCA1 self-binding assertion. Heterodimer formation does not refute self-association, so the previous removal is withdrawn without claiming the uninspected self-binding assay is validated.

Summary: BRCA1 is a central component of the DNA damage response, coordinating repair and checkpoint functions.

Summary: BRCA1 participates in multiple DNA repair mechanisms.
Reason: The broad DNA-repair assertion is biologically correct. Homologous recombination is well established, but BRCA1 also supports DNA-end processing and single-strand annealing in the reported assays. Restricting this general source assertion to homologous recombination alone would unnecessarily narrow the evidence; the core synthesis provides the mechanistic detail.

Reason: The original unqualified enables assertion overstates BRCA1-specific reader activity. Primary structures and binding mutations place H2AK13/15-ubiquitin recognition in BARD1 ankyrin/BRCT domains. BRCA1 RING contacts the nucleosome acidic patch and E2 and contributes to the genuine reader/writer heterodimer, but this does not establish an intrinsic ubiquitin-modified-histone reader site in BRCA1.

GO:0005737 cytoplasm
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: BRCA1 also found in cytoplasm though primarily nuclear.
Reason: BRCA1 can be found in the cytoplasm, especially in certain splice variants. Some studies show cytoplasmic localization in certain contexts. This is a minor, non-core pool of a predominantly nuclear protein; marked non-core for consistency with the IDA cytoplasm annotation.

ACCEPT
Summary: BRCA1 participates in the BRCA1-A DNA damage-response assembly.
Reason: The source context and independent interaction studies support a BRCA1 assembly involving Abraxas, RAP80 and associated BRCC components at damaged chromatin. Their ubiquitin-recognition and deubiquitination functions are not all intrinsic BRCA1 activities. The annotation describes complex membership, not a claim that every subunit was independently assayed in each cited paper.

UNDECIDED
Summary: The precise stalled-fork resection context remains unresolved from the available source.
Reason: The available review cache contains an abstract and Introduction rather than the BRCA1-specific fork-processing section. GO:0110025 specifically describes resection at a stalled fork; evidence for DSB-end resection does not automatically establish that assertion, and BRCA1-dependent fork protection must be distinguished from productive processing. Preserve the source NAS assertion pending its relevant section; the MRN-focused title is not evidence of a wrong-gene annotation.

Reason: The source context and independent interaction studies support a BRCA1 assembly involving Abraxas, RAP80 and associated BRCC components at damaged chromatin. Their ubiquitin-recognition and deubiquitination functions are not all intrinsic BRCA1 activities. The annotation describes complex membership, not a claim that every subunit was independently assayed in each cited paper.

ACCEPT
Summary: BRCA1 forms the functional RING ubiquitin-ligase heterodimer with BARD1.
Reason: Structural and biochemical evidence establishes the heterodimer and its ubiquitin-ligase function. This core complex assignment does not imply that every isolated BRCA1 domain lacks an independently measurable activity or that BRCA1 belongs to only one assembly.

UNDECIDED
Summary: Centrosomal gamma-tubulin association does not by itself establish gamma-tubulin-ring-complex membership.
Reason: The accessible review abstract and independent localization paper support centrosomal BRCA1 and gamma-tubulin coassociation. GO:0000931 denotes the gamma-tubulin ring complex, a more specific assembly than the centrosome. Its exact BRCA1 membership evidence was not available in the inspected review abstract, so the original NAS assertion is preserved as uncertain rather than converted into an unsupported permanent-complex claim.

Roles of BRCA1 in centrosome duplication.
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: BRCA1 blocks centrosome reduplication, preventing formation of multiple functional centrosomes.
Reason: BRCA1 has documented roles in centrosome regulation and blocks centrosome reduplication. While this is a real function, it is secondary to the core DNA repair and E3 ligase functions.

Core Functions

The BRCA1 RING engages E2 enzymes in the BRCA1–BARD1 ubiquitin-ligase heterodimer. The complex ubiquitinates nucleosomal H2A C-terminal lysines and other substrates to support repair-associated chromatin regulation. K6-linked autoubiquitination is one experimentally observed product; other E2 partners support different linkages. BARD1 supplies modified-chromatin recognition surfaces, while BRCA1 supplies the E2-engaging RING interface. This is distinct from assigning an intrinsic ubiquitin-modified-histone reader site to BRCA1. The broader ligase term summarizes activity across histone and non-histone substrates, including autoubiquitination; the accepted H2AK127-specific annotation describes one substrate-specific branch of this activity.

Supporting Evidence:

The tandem BRCT region recognizes phosphorylated protein motifs, including phosphoserine-containing segments of BRIP1/BACH1, CtIP and Abraxas, and helps organize distinct damage-response assemblies. This protein-recognition activity is separate from direct DNA binding and does not give BRCA1 the helicase or nuclease activity of its partners. Phosphorylated ACCA provides an additional, non-core metabolic context for the same broad recognition chemistry. The broader phosphoprotein-binding term covers the shared recognition chemistry, including phosphorylated ACCA for which the inspected abstract does not resolve the bound residue; source-specific phosphoserine refinements remain explicit in the individual annotation reviews.

Supporting Evidence:

A DNA-binding module in the central BRCA1 region cooperates with a separate BARD1 DNA-binding module in the heterodimer. Purified-protein and single-molecule experiments link these modules to stimulation of long-range resection by EXO1 and BLM–DNA2 or WRN–DNA2. BRCA1 helps position and support the resection machinery; it is not the helicase or nuclease. Fragment assays establish BRCA1 DNA affinity, whereas intact-complex and BARD1-mutant experiments establish additional context without making every result a BRCA1-specific mutant assay.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Which endogenous substrates and E2-dependent ubiquitin products explain the separable repair and tumor-suppressive activities of full-length BRCA1–BARD1, and how do ligase-defective mutants compare with mutants that retain DNA binding and partner assembly?

Q: Can the original interaction tables and self-association assays resolve the source-specific UNDECIDED rows, including whether recorded screen partners represent direct contacts, co-complex associations or proximity measurements?

Q: Which of the eight named UniProt alternative products retain each DNA-binding, RING and BRCT activity? Existing unqualified GOA objects do not demonstrate functional equivalence of all products.

Q: Does the available evidence justify a BRCA1 contributes_to relationship for the BRCA1–BARD1 histone-reader function, while retaining the direct modified-histone recognition site on BARD1?

Q: Which assays distinguish BRCA1 participation in productive stalled-fork resection from fork protection, general DSB-end resection and downstream phenotypes?

Q: Which molecular-function term would best capture the experimentally observed stimulation of EXO1 and BLM–DNA2/WRN–DNA2 resection by BRCA1–BARD1 and the isolated BRCA1 467–696 module, while distinguishing fragment concentration-dependent effects from the intact complex and retaining helicase/nuclease catalysis on the partner enzymes?
