A common malignancy originating from breast epithelial tissue. Breast neoplasms can be distinguished by their histologic pattern. Invasive ductal carcinoma is by far the most common type. Breast cancer is etiologically and genetically heterogeneous. Important genetic factors have been indicated by familial occurrence and bilateral involvement. Mutations at more than one locus can be involved in different families or even in the same case. Note=Mutations in BRCA1 are thought to be responsible for 45% of inherited breast cancer. Moreover, BRCA1 carriers have a 4-fold increased risk of colon cancer, whereas male carriers face a 3-fold increased risk of prostate cancer. Cells lacking BRCA1 show defects in DNA repair by homologous recombination. Defects in BRCA1 are a cause of susceptibility to familial breast-ovarian cancer type 1 (BROVCA1) [MIM:604370. A condition associated with familial predisposition to cancer of the breast and ovaries. Characteristic features in affected families are an early age of onset of breast cancer (often before age 50), increased chance of bilateral cancers (cancer that develop in both breasts, or both ovaries, independently), frequent occurrence of breast cancer among men, increased incidence of tumors of other specific organs, such as the prostate. Note=Mutations in BRCA1 are thought to be responsible for more than 80% of inherited breast-ovarian cancer. Defects in BRCA1 are a cause of susceptibility to ovarian cancer (OC) [MIM:167000. The term ovarian cancer defines malignancies originating from ovarian tissue. Although many histologic types of ovarian tumors have been described, epithelial ovarian carcinoma is the most common form. Ovarian cancers are often asymptomatic and the recognized signs and symptoms, even of late-stage disease, are vague. Consequently, most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease. Defects in BRCA1 are a cause of susceptibility to pancreatic cancer type 4 (PNCA4) [MIM:614320. A malignant neoplasm of the pancreas. Tumors can arise from both the exocrine and endocrine portions of the pancreas, but 95% of them develop from the exocrine portion, including the ductal epithelium, acinar cells, connective tissue, and lymphatic tissue. Function BRCA1_HUMAN 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. It is unclear whether it also mediates the formation of other types of polyubiquitin chains. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity is required for its tumor suppressor function. The BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimer coordinates a diverse range of cellular pathways such as DNA damage repair, ubiquitination and transcriptional regulation to maintain genomic stability. Regulates centrosomal microtubule nucleation. Required for normal cell cycle progression from G2 to mitosis. Required for appropriate cell cycle arrests after ionizing irradiation in both the S-phase and the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Involved in transcriptional regulation of P21 in response to DNA damage. Required for FANCD2 targeting to sites of DNA damage. May function as a transcriptional regulator. Inhibits lipid synthesis by binding to inactive phosphorylated ACACA and preventing its dephosphorylation. 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 breaks. 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 RBBP8. Publication Abstract from PubMed The breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility protein 1 (BRCA1) plays a central role in DNA damage response (DDR). Two tandem BRCA1 C-terminal (BRCT) domains interact with several proteins that function in DDR and contain the generally accepted motif pS-X-X-F (pS denoting phosphoserine and X any amino acid), including the ATR-interacting protein (ATRIP) and the BRCA1-associated protein required for ATM activation-1 (BAAT1). The crystal structures of the BRCA1 BRCTs bound to the phosphopeptides ATRIP (235-PEACpSPQFG-243) and BAAT1 (266-VARpSPVFSS-274) were determined at 1.75 A and 2.2 A resolution, respectively. The pSer and Phe(+3) anchor the phosphopeptides into the BRCT binding groove, with adjacent peptide residues contributing to the interaction. In the BRCA1-ATRIP structure, Gln(+2) is accommodated through a conformational change of the BRCA1 E1698 side chain. Importantly, isothermal titration calorimetry experiments showed that the size and charge of the side chains at peptide positions +1 and +2 contribute significantly to the BRCA1 BRCT-peptide binding affinity. In particular, the Asp(+1) and Glu(+2) in the human CDC27 peptide 816-HAAEpSDEF-823 abrogate the interaction with the BRCA1 BRCTs due in large part to electrostatic repulsion between Glu(+2) and E1698, indicating a preference of these domains for specific side chains at positions +1 and +2. These results emphasize the need for a systematic assessment of the contribution of the peptide residues surrounding pSer and Phe(+3) to the binding affinity and specificity of the BRCA1 BRCTs in order to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the hierarchy of target selection by these versatile domains during DDR and tumorigenesis.
