TP53-binding protein 1 (TP53BP1)

Double-strand break (DSB) repair protein involved in response to DNA damage, telomere dynamics and class-switch recombination (CSR) through antibody genesis (PubMed:12364621, PubMed:22553214, PubMed:23333306, PubMed:17190600, PubMed:21144835, PubMed:28241136). Plays a vital role in the repair of double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) in response to DNA damage by promoting non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)-mediated repair of DSBs and specifically counteracting the function of the homologous recombination (HR) repair protein BRCA1 (PubMed:22553214, PubMed:23727112, PubMed:23333306).

In response to DSBs, phosphorylation by ATM promotes interaction with RIF1 and dissociation from NUDT16L1/TIRR, leading to recruitment to DSBs websites (PubMed:28241136). Recruited to DSBs websites by recognizing and binding histone H2A monoubiquitinated at'Lys-15' (H2AK15Ub) and histone H4 dimethylated at'Lys-20' (H4K20me2), two histone marks that are found at DSBs websites (PubMed:23760478, PubMed:28241136, PubMed:17190600).
