Insights into the molecular basis of human hereditary breast cancer from studies of the BRCA1 BRCT domain

Glover, J. N. Mark·2006·Familial Cancer

Abstract

The C-terminal, BRCT repeats of BRCA1 are essential for the tumor suppressor function of this protein. Here we review structural and functional studies of this domain. Both repeats adopt similar folds and pack in an intimate, head-to-tail manner. The domain binds phosphorylated targets such as the DNA damage-associated kinase BACH1, with a specificity for pSer-X-X-Phe motifs. Structural studies reveal that the N-terminal repeat is responsible for pSer binding while a groove at the interface of the two repeats recognizes the Phe. Missense variants identified in breast cancer screening programs often disrupt these interactions and these molecular defects may lead to an increased cancer risk.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • BRCT domains are frequently affected by clinically important mutations, and most of these mutations disrupt the BRCT domain's phosphopeptide-binding surface.

    “BRCT domains are frequently targeted by many clinically important mutations and most of these mutations disrupt the binding surface of the BRCT domains to phosphorylated peptides (Bouwman et al., 2013; Glover, 2006).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
