Summary
BCAS3 (BCAS3 microtubule associated cell migration factor, HGNC:14347) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q23.2, encoding BCAS3 microtubule associated cell migration factor (Q9H6U6). Plays a role in angiogenesis.
Enables several functions, including acetyltransferase activator activity; beta-tubulin binding activity; and histone acetyltransferase binding activity. Involved in cellular response to estrogen stimulus; positive regulation of catalytic activity; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in euchromatin; nucleus; and phagophore assembly site. Implicated in Hengel-Maroofian-Schols syndrome. Biomarker of breast cancer.

Function. Plays a role in angiogenesis. Participates in the regulation of cell polarity and directional endothelial cell migration by mediating both the activation and recruitment of CDC42 and the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton at the cell leading edge. Promotes filipodia formation. Functions synergistically with PELP1 as a transcriptional coactivator of estrogen receptor-responsive genes. Stimulates histone acetyltransferase activity. Binds to chromatin. Plays a regulatory role in autophagic activity. In complex with PHAF1, associates with the preautophagosomal structure during both non-selective and selective autophagy. Probably binds phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) which would mediate the recruitment preautophagosomal structures.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with histone H3, ESR1, KAT2B and PELP1; the interactions occur in a estrogen-dependent manner. Interacts with beta-tubulin and VIM. Interacts (via C-terminal) with PHAF1; the interaction is requrired for the association with the phagophore.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Preautophagosomal structure.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in stomach, liver, lung, kidney, prostate, testis, thyroid gland, adrenal gland, brain, heart, skeletal muscle, colon, spleen, small intestine, placenta, blood leukocyte and mammary epithelial cells. Expressed in undifferentiated ES cells. Expressed in blood islands and nascent blood vessels derived from differentiated ES cells into embryoid bodies (BD). Expressed in endothelial cells. Not detected in brain. Expressed in brain tumors (at protein level). Expressed in brain. Highly expressed in breast cancers and in glioma cell lines.
Disease relevance. A chromosomal aberration involving BCAS3 has been found in some breast carcinoma cell lines. Translocation t(17;20)(q23;q13) with BCAS4. Hengel-Maroofian-Schols syndrome (HEMARS) [MIM:619641] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe global developmental delay apparent from infancy or early childhood. Affected individuals have delayed walking or inability to walk, impaired intellectual development with poor or absent speech, lower limb spasticity, poor overall growth, and dysmorphic facial features. Some patients develop seizures. Brain imaging shows thinning of the posterior part of the corpus callosum, delayed myelination, and cerebral and cerebellar atrophy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. Has been proposed to contain 7 WD repeats. This prediction could not be reproduced.
Induction. By estrogen.
Similarity. Belongs to the BCAS3 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 73 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.
