Summaries for BRCA2 Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for BRCA2 Gene

  • Inherited mutations in BRCA1 and this gene, BRCA2, confer increased lifetime risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer. Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 are involved in maintenance of genome stability, specifically the homologous recombination pathway for double-strand DNA repair. The BRCA2 protein contains several copies of a 70 aa motif called the BRC motif, and these motifs mediate binding to the RAD51 recombinase which functions in DNA repair. BRCA2 is considered a tumor suppressor gene, as tumors with BRCA2 mutations generally exhibit loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the wild-type allele. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

CIViC summary for BRCA2 Gene

  • BRCA2 mutations in the germline have become a hallmark for hereditary breast and ovarian cancers. Variants that have been demonstrated to reduce the function of the protein have been shown to increase risk for these cancers, as well as prostate and pancreatic cancer. These findings have been the impetus for the increased popularity of genetic testing of healthy indivudals to assess risk.

GeneCards Summary for BRCA2 Gene

BRCA2 (BRCA2, DNA Repair Associated) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with BRCA2 include Fanconi Anemia, Complementation Group D1 and Breast Cancer. Among its related pathways are Integrated Breast Cancer Pathway and Cell Cycle, Mitotic. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include protease binding and histone acetyltransferase activity.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for BRCA2 Gene

  • Involved in double-strand break repair and/or homologous recombination. Binds RAD51 and potentiates recombinational DNA repair by promoting assembly of RAD51 onto single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). Acts by targeting RAD51 to ssDNA over double-stranded DNA, enabling RAD51 to displace replication protein-A (RPA) from ssDNA and stabilizing RAD51-ssDNA filaments by blocking ATP hydrolysis. Part of a PALB2-scaffolded HR complex containing RAD51C and which is thought to play a role in DNA repair by HR. May participate in S phase checkpoint activation. Binds selectively to ssDNA, and to ssDNA in tailed duplexes and replication fork structures. May play a role in the extension step after strand invasion at replication-dependent DNA double-strand breaks; together with PALB2 is involved in both POLH localization at collapsed replication forks and DNA polymerization activity. In concert with NPM1, regulates centrosome duplication. Interacts with the TREX-2 complex (transcription and export complex 2) subunits PCID2 and SEM1, and is required to prevent R-loop-associated DNA damage and thus transcription-associated genomic instability. Silencing of BRCA2 promotes R-loop accumulation at actively transcribed genes in replicating and non-replicating cells, suggesting that BRCA2 mediates the control of R-loop associated genomic instability, independently of its known role in homologous recombination (PubMed:24896180).

Post-translational modifications for BRCA2 Gene

  • Phosphorylated by ATM upon irradiation-induced DNA damage. Phosphorylation by CHEK1 and CHEK2 regulates interaction with RAD51. Phosphorylation at Ser-3291 by CDK1 and CDK2 is low in S phase when recombination is active, but increases as cells progress towards mitosis; this phosphorylation prevents homologous recombination-dependent repair during S phase and G2 by inhibiting RAD51 binding.
  • Ubiquitinated in the absence of DNA damage; this does not lead to proteasomal degradation. In contrast, ubiquitination in response to DNA damage leads to proteasomal degradation.
  • Ubiquitination at posLast=20772077 and posLast=18721872
  • Modification sites at PhosphoSitePlus

  • Breast cancer (BC) [MIM:114480]: A common malignancy originating from breast epithelial tissue. Breast neoplasms can be distinguished by their histologic pattern. Invasive ductal carcinoma is by far the most common type. Breast cancer is etiologically and genetically heterogeneous. Important genetic factors have been indicated by familial occurrence and bilateral involvement. Mutations at more than one locus can be involved in different families or even in the same case. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:10399947, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10978364, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11139248, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11241844, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11948477, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12145750, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12373604, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12442274, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12442275, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12938098, ECO:0000269 PubMed:14722926, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15026808, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15172753, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15365993, ECO:0000269 PubMed:16793542, ECO:0000269 PubMed:24013206, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8640237, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9150152, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9609997, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9654203, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9971877}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Pancreatic cancer 2 (PNCA2) [MIM:613347]: A malignant neoplasm of the pancreas. Tumors can arise from both the exocrine and endocrine portions of the pancreas, but 95% of them develop from the exocrine portion, including the ductal epithelium, acinar cells, connective tissue, and lymphatic tissue. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:9140390}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, 2 (BROVCA2) [MIM:612555]: A condition associated with familial predisposition to cancer of the breast and ovaries. Characteristic features in affected families are an early age of onset of breast cancer (often before age 50), increased chance of bilateral cancers (cancer that develop in both breasts, or both ovaries, independently), frequent occurrence of breast cancer among men, increased incidence of tumors of other specific organs, such as the prostate. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Fanconi anemia complementation group D1 (FANCD1) [MIM:605724]: A disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and resulting in anemia, leukopenia and thrombopenia. It is associated with cardiac, renal and limb malformations, dermal pigmentary changes, and a predisposition to the development of malignancies. At the cellular level it is associated with hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, chromosomal instability (increased chromosome breakage) and defective DNA repair. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:12065746, ECO:0000269 PubMed:14670928, ECO:0000269 PubMed:16825431, ECO:0000269 PubMed:21719596}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Glioma 3 (GLM3) [MIM:613029]: Gliomas are benign or malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells. They comprise astrocytomas and glioblastoma multiforme that are derived from astrocytes, oligodendrogliomas derived from oligodendrocytes and ependymomas derived from ependymocytes. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:15689453}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
