Also known as BRCC45BRCC4
Summary
BABAM2 (BRISC and BRCA1 A complex member 2, HGNC:1106) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p23.2, encoding BRISC and BRCA1-A complex member 2 (Q9NXR7). Component of the BRCA1-A complex, a complex that specifically recognizes ‘Lys-63’-linked ubiquitinated histones H2A and H2AX at DNA lesions sites, leading to target the BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimer to sites of DNA damage at double-strand breaks (DSBs).
This gene encodes an anti-apoptotic, death receptor-associated protein that interacts with tumor necrosis factor-receptor-1. The encoded protein acts as an adapter in several protein complexes, including the BRCA1-A complex and the BRISC complex. The BRCA1-A complex possesses ubiquitinase activity and targets sites of double strand DNA breaks, while the BRISC complex exhibits deubiquitinase activity and is involved in mitotic spindle assembly. This gene is upregulated in several types of cancer.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 14)
- BRE mediates antiapoptosis by inhibiting the mitochondrial apoptotic machinery (PMID:15465831)
- the enhanced tumor growth is more likely due to the antiapoptotic activity of BRE than any direct effect of the protein on cell proliferation (PMID:15582573)
- Antiapoptotic in vivo; Bre levels are regulated post-transcriptionally in the liver, which is not observed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and non-HCC cell lines. (PMID:17704801)
- results implied that BRE plays a significant role in mediating antiapoptotic and proliferative responses in esophageal carcinoma cells (PMID:18756325)
- A novel stress-responsive gene called BRE which interacts with TNF-receptor-1 and blocks the apoptotic effect of TNF-alpha, was identified. (PMID:19757177)
- These results show that BRE over-expression can indeed promote growth, though not initiation, of liver tumors. (PMID:20035718)
- overexpression of the BRE gene is predominantly found in MLL-rearranged AML with t(9;11)(p22;q23). (PMID:20861917)
- NBA1/MERIT40 and BRE interaction is required for the integrity of two distinct deubiquitinating enzyme BRCC36-containing complexes (PMID:21282113)
- High BRE expression defines a novel subtype of adult acute myeloid leukemia characterized by a favorable prognosis. (PMID:21937695)
- High BRE and high EVI1 expression are mutually exclusive in MLL-AF9-positive acute myeloid leukemia patients. (PMID:22555662)
- Results show that BRE expression is regulated by HOTTIP LncRNA. Its over-expression promotes cell proliferation and cell cycle progression inhibiting apoptosis of glioma cells. (PMID:27733185)
- C-terminal BRE might be an important contributor to this program because in a case with relapsed AML, we observed an ins(11;2) fusing CHORDC1 to BRE at the region where intragenic transcription starts in KMT2A-rearranged and KAT6A-CREBBP AML. (PMID:28871137)
- show that BRE facilitates deubiquitylation of CDC25A by recruiting ubiquitin-specific-processing protease 7 (USP7) in the presence of DNA damage (PMID:29416040)
- The BRE rs7572644 and NRG3 rs1649942 genetic variants were validated in an independent cohort of EOC Portuguese patients. (PMID:30287910)

Function. Component of the BRCA1-A complex, a complex that specifically recognizes ‘Lys-63’-linked ubiquitinated histones H2A and H2AX at DNA lesions sites, leading to target the BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimer to sites of DNA damage at double-strand breaks (DSBs). The BRCA1-A complex also possesses deubiquitinase activity that specifically removes ‘Lys-63’-linked ubiquitin on histones H2A and H2AX. In the BRCA1-A complex, it acts as an adapter that bridges the interaction between BABAM1/NBA1 and the rest of the complex, thereby being required for the complex integrity and modulating the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of the BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimer. Component of the BRISC complex, a multiprotein complex that specifically cleaves ‘Lys-63’-linked ubiquitin in various substrates. Within the BRISC complex, acts as an adapter that bridges the interaction between BABAM1/NBA1 and the rest of the complex, thereby being required for the complex integrity. The BRISC complex is required for normal mitotic spindle assembly and microtubule attachment to kinetochores via its role in deubiquitinating NUMA1. The BRISC complex plays a role in interferon signaling via its role in the deubiquitination of the interferon receptor IFNAR1; deubiquitination increases IFNAR1 activity by enhancing its stability and cell surface expression. Down-regulates the response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) via its role in IFNAR1 deubiquitination. May play a role in homeostasis or cellular differentiation in cells of neural, epithelial and germline origins. May also act as a death receptor-associated anti-apoptotic protein, which inhibits the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. May regulate TNF signaling through its interactions with TNFRSF1A; however these effects may be indirect.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the ARISC complex, at least composed of UIMC1/RAP80, ABRAXAS1, BRCC3/BRCC36, BABAM2 and BABAM1/NBA1. Component of the BRCA1-A complex, at least composed of BRCA1, BARD1, UIMC1/RAP80, ABRAXAS1, BRCC3/BRCC36, BABAM2 and BABAM1/NBA1. In the BRCA1-A complex, interacts directly with ABRAXAS1, BRCC3/BRCC36 and BABAM1/NBA1. Binds polyubiquitin. Component of the BRISC complex, at least composed of ABRAXAS2, BRCC3/BRCC36, BABAM2 and BABAM1/NBA1. Identified in a complex with SHMT2 and the other subunits of the BRISC complex. Component of the BRCA1/BRCA2 containing complex (BRCC), which also contains BRCA1, BRCA2, BARD1, BRCC3/BRCC36 and RAD51. BRCC is a ubiquitin E3 ligase complex that enhances cellular survival following DNA damage. May interact with FAS and TNFRSF1A.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in all cell lines examined. Highly expressed in placenta.
Domain organisation. Contains 2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family-like (UEV-like) regions. These regions lack the critical Cys residues required for ubiquitination but retain the ability to bind ubiquitin.
Induction. Down-regulated by DNA-damaging agents in fibroblasts, by retinoic acid in brain glioma U-251MG and promyelocytic HL-60 cell lines, and by bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
Similarity. Belongs to the BABAM2 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 66 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
