A DNA damage-regulated BRCT-containing protein, TopBP1, is required for cell survival.
BRCA1 carboxyl-terminal (BRCT) motifs are present in a number of proteins involved in DNA repair and/or DNA damage-signaling pathways. Human DNA topoisomerase II binding protein 1 (TopBP1) contains eight BRCT motifs and shares sequence similarity with the fission yeast Rad4/Cut5 protein and the budding yeast DPB11 protein, both of which are required for DNA damage and/or replication checkpoint ...
متن کاملhRad9 Rapidly Binds DNA Containing Double-Strand Breaks and Is Required for Damage-dependent Topoisomerase II Binding Protein 1 Focus Formation
Checkpoint proteins protect the genomic integrity of a cell, repeatedly impaired by DNA damage and normal cellular processes, such as replication. Checkpoint proteins hRad9, hRad1, and hHus1 form a heterotrimeric complex that is thought to act as a genomic surveyor of DNA damage. We show here that, when DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are specifically generated in a subnuclear area, hRad9 is ra...
متن کاملReconstitution of a human ATR-mediated checkpoint response to damaged DNA.
The DNA damage checkpoint response delays cell cycle progression upon DNA damage and prevents genomic instability. Genetic analysis has identified sensor, mediator, signal transducer, and effector components of this global signal transduction pathway. Here we describe an in vitro system with purified human checkpoint proteins that recapitulates key elements of the DNA damage checkpoint. We show...
متن کاملHigh levels of TopBP1 induce ATR-dependent shut-down of rRNA transcription and nucleolar segregation
Nucleoli are not only organelles that produce ribosomal subunits. They are also overarching sensors of different stress conditions and they control specific nucleolar stress pathways leading to stabilization of p53. During DNA replication, ATR and its activator TopBP1 initiate DNA damage response upon DNA damage and replication stress. We found that a basal level of TopBP1 protein associates wi...
متن کاملTopBP1 contains a transcriptional activation domain suppressed by two adjacent BRCT domains.
TopBP1 has eight BRCT [BRCA1 (breast-cancer susceptibility gene 1) C-terminus] domains and is involved in initiating DNA replication, and DNA damage checkpoint signalling and repair. Several BRCT-domain-containing proteins involved in mediating DNA repair have transcriptional regulatory domains, and as demonstrated for BRCA1 these regulatory domains are important in mediating the functions of t...
