Breast cancer-1 (BRCA1) participates in the DNA damage response. However, the mechanism by which BRCA1 is recruited to DNA damage sites remains elusive. Recently, we have demonstrated that a ubiquitin-binding protein, RAP80, is required for DNA damage-induced BRCA1 translocation. Here we identify another component, CCDC98, in the BRCA1-RAP80 complex. CCDC98 mediates BRCA1's association with RAP80. Moreover, CCDC98 controls both DNA damage-induced formation of BRCA1 foci and BRCA1-dependent G2/M checkpoint activation. Together, our results demonstrate that CCDC98 is a BRCA1 binding partner that mediates BRCA1 function in response to DNA damage.
乳腺癌1号基因(BRCA1)参与DNA损伤反应。然而,BRCA1被招募到DNA损伤位点的机制仍不清楚。最近,我们已经证明,一种泛素结合蛋白RAP80是DNA损伤诱导的BRCA1易位所必需的。在这里,我们在BRCA1-RAP80复合物中鉴定出另一个组分CCDC98。CCDC98介导BRCA1与RAP80的结合。此外,CCDC98既控制DNA损伤诱导的BRCA1灶形成,也控制BRCA1依赖的G2/M期检验点激活。总之,我们的结果表明CCDC98是一种BRCA1结合伴侣,其介导BRCA1在响应DNA损伤时的功能。
