Disease[COM1_HUMAN] Seckel syndrome. Defects in RBBP8 are a cause of Seckel syndrome type 2 (SCKL2) [MIM:606744]. SCKL2 is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by proportionate dwarfism of prenatal onset associated with low birth weight, growth retardation, severe microcephaly with a bird-headed like appearance, and mental retardation.[1] Defects in RBBP8 are a cause of Jawad disease (JWDS) [MIM:251255]. JWDS is a syndrome characterized by congenital microcephaly, moderately severe mental retardation, and symmetrical digital anomalies. Digital malformations of variable degree inclued hallux valgus, syndactyly of toes 4 and 5, short fifth fingers, single flexion crease of fifth fingers, polydactyly and synpolydactyly.[2] Note=Genetic variability in RBBP8 is noted as a factor in BRCA1-associated breast cancer risk. Exhibits sensitivity to tamoxifen in certain breast cancer cell lines. Function[COM1_HUMAN] Endonuclease that cooperates with the MRE11-RAD50-NBN (MRN) complex in processing meiotic and mitotic double-strand breaks (DSBs) by ensuring both resection and intrachromosomal association of the broken ends. Functions downstream of the MRN complex and ATM, promotes ATR activation and its recruitment to DSBs in the S/G2 phase facilitating the generation of ssDNA. Component of the BRCA1-RBBP8 complex that regulates CHEK1 activation and controls cell cycle G2/M checkpoints on DNA damage. Promotes microhomology-mediated alternative end joining (A-NHEJ) during class-switch recombination and plays an essential role in chromosomal translocations.[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] Publication Abstract from PubMedLIM-only protein 4 (LMO4) is strongly linked to the progression of breast cancer. Although the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are not well understood, a role is emerging for LMO4 in regulation of the cell cycle. We determined the solution structure of LMO4 in complex with CtIP (C-terminal binding protein interacting protein)/RBBP8, a tumour suppressor protein that is involved in cell cycle progression, DNA repair and transcriptional regulation. Our data reveal that CtIP and the essential LMO cofactor LDB1 (LIM-domain binding protein 1) bind to the same face on LMO4 and cannot simultaneously bind to LMO4. We hypothesise that overexpression of LMO4 may disrupt some of the normal tumour suppressor activities of CtIP, thereby contributing to breast cancer progression.
