Gene Description

Brca1 encodes the mouse homolog of BRCA1, a nuclear genome-maintenance protein. Its primary roles are as a BARD1-associated RING E3 ubiquitin ligase and as a DNA-damage response scaffold that promotes homologous recombination, DNA end resection, repair-checkpoint control, and replication-associated genome stability. Transcriptional, metabolic, centrosomal, and developmental annotations are interpreted as secondary contexts unless directly tied to DNA repair or BRCA1-BARD1 ubiquitin ligase activity.

Summary: Regulates centrosome duplication, helping prevent centrosome amplification and aneuploidy.
Reason: Centrosome control secondary to BRCA1's genome-stability function.

ACCEPT
Summary: Localizes to condensed chromosomes, consistent with BRCA1's role in genome maintenance through the cell cycle.
Reason: IDA-supported localization; retain as observed nuclear/chromosomal site.
Supporting Evidence:
UniProt:P48754
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 damage.

BRCA1 forms an obligate heterodimer with BARD1 through the N-terminal RING domains; the complex acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes DNA end resection, antagonizes 53BP1 at breaks, and supports PALB2-BRCA2-RAD51 loading for homology-directed repair.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Participates in the centrosome cycle, consistent with AURKA-phosphorylation-regulated control of centrosomal microtubule nucleation.
Reason: Centrosome-cycle role secondary to core repair/checkpoint function.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Engages DNA-damage-triggered intrinsic apoptosis when damage is irreparable, an outcome downstream of BRCA1 damage sensing.
Reason: Apoptotic outcome downstream of the core DNA-damage-response role.

Genomic instability in mice lacking histone H2AX.
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: BRCA1 is recruited to damaged DNA chiefly via ubiquitin/chromatin readers and partner complexes rather than as a direct damaged-DNA binder; the bare MF over-attributes a direct activity.
Reason: Recruitment to damage is complex-mediated; specific complex/chromatin terms capture this better.

Core Functions

Functions with BARD1 as a RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that supports DNA damage signaling, repair-factor positioning, and genome stability.

Supporting Evidence:
  • UniProt:P48754
    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 damage.
  • file:mouse/Brca1/Brca1-deep-research-falcon.md
    BRCA1 forms an obligate heterodimer with BARD1 through the N-terminal RING domains; the complex acts as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes DNA end resection, antagonizes 53BP1 at breaks, and supports PALB2-BRCA2-RAD51 loading for homology-directed repair.
