BRCA1 C Terminus (BRCT) domain; The BRCT domain is found predominantly in proteins involved in cell cycle checkpoint functions responsive to DNA damage. The BRCT domain of XRCC1 forms a homodimer in the crystal structure. This suggests that pairs of BRCT domains associate as homo- or heterodimers. BRCT domains are often found as tandem-repeat pairs. Structures of the BRCA1 BRCT domains revealed a basis for a widely utilized head-to-tail BRCT-BRCT oligomerization mode. This conserved tandem BRCT architecture facilitates formation of the canonical BRCT phospho-peptide interaction cleft at a groove between the BRCT domains. Disease associated missense and nonsense mutations in the BRCA1 BRCT domains disrupt peptide binding by directly occluding this peptide binding groove, or by disrupting key conserved BRCT core folding determinants.

C-terminal domain of the breast cancer suppressor protein (BRCA1) and related domains; The BRCT (BRCA1 C-terminus) domain is found within many DNA damage repair and cell cycle checkpoint proteins. BRCT domains interact with each other forming homo/hetero BRCT multimers, but are also involved in BRCT-non-BRCT interactions and interactions within DNA strand breaks. BRCT tandem repeats bind to phosphopeptides; it has been shown that the repeats in human BRCA1 bind specifically to pS-X-X-F motifs, mediating the interaction between BRCA1 and the DNA helicase BACH1, or BRCA1 and CtIP, a transcriptional corepressor. It is assumed that BRCT repeats play similar roles in many signaling pathways associated with the response to DNA damage.

BRCT domain of SMC5-SMC6 complex localization factor protein 1 (SLF1) and similar proteins; SLF1, also termed Smc5/6 localization factor 1, or ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 32 (ANKRD32), or BRCT domain-containing protein 1 (BRCTD1), plays a role in the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway by regulating post replication repair of UV-damaged DNA and genomic stability maintenance. It is a component of the SLF1-SLF2 complex that acts to link RAD18 with the SMC5-SMC6 complex at replication-coupled interstrand cross-links (ICL) and DNA double-strand break (DSB) sites on chromatin during DNA repair in response to stalled replication forks. The Trp-X-X-X-Cys/Ser signature motif of the BRCT family is missing in this group.

first BRCT domain of mediator of DNA damage checkpoint protein 1 (MDC1) and similar proteins; MDC1, also termed nuclear factor with BRCT domains 1 (NFBD1), is a nuclear chromatin-associated protein that is required for checkpoint mediated cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage within both the S phase and G2/M phases of the cell cycle. It directly binds phosphorylated histone H2AX to regulate cellular responses to DNA double-strand breaks. MDC1 contains a forkhead-associated (FHA) domain and two BRCT domains, as well as an internal 41-amino acid repeat sequence. The family corresponds to the first BRCT domain.

first BRCT domain of breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1) and similar proteins; BRCA1, also termed RING finger protein 53 (RNF53), is a RING finger protein encoded by BRCA1, a tumor suppressor gene that regulates all DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathways. BRCA1 is frequently mutated in patients with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Its mutation is also associated with an increased risk of pancreatic, stomach, laryngeal, fallopian tube, and prostate cancer. It plays an important role in the DNA damage response signaling, and has been implicated in various cellular processes such as cell cycle regulation, transcriptional regulation, chromatin remodeling, DNA DSBs, and apoptosis. BRCA1 contains an N-terminal C3HC4-type RING-HC finger, and two BRCT (BRCA1 C-terminus domain) repeats at the C-terminus. The family corresponds to the first BRCT domain.
