Breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1)

It is unclear whether it also mediates the formation of different kinds of polyubiquitin chains. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity is required for its tumor suppressor function.

The BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimer coordinates a wide range of cellular pathways such as DNA damage repair, ubiquitination and transcriptional regulation to maintain genomic stability. Required for normal cell cycle progression from G2 into mitosis.
