Also known as MGC22916
Summary
BRAT1 (BRCA1 associated ATM activator 1, HGNC:21701) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7p22.3, encoding Integrator complex assembly factor BRAT1 (Q6PJG6). Component of a multiprotein complex required for the assembly of the RNA endonuclease module of the integrator complex. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 43.5% of cell lines).
The protein encoded by this ubiquitously expressed gene interacts with the tumor suppressing BRCA1 (breast cancer 1) protein and and the ATM (ataxia telangiectasia mutated) protein. ATM is thought to be a master controller of cell cycle checkpoint signalling pathways that are required for cellular responses to DNA damage such as double-strand breaks that are induced by ionizing radiation and complexes with BRCA1 in the multi-protein complex BASC (BRAC1-associated genome surveillance complex). The protein encoded by this gene is thought to play a role in the DNA damage pathway regulated by BRCA1 and ATM.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 22)
- Study identified sequence variants in the known disease-causing genes SLC6A3 and FLVCR1, and present evidence to strongly support the pathogenicity of variants identified in TUBGCP6, BRAT1, SNIP1, CRADD, and HARS. (PMID:22279524)
- Data on crystal structure of BRCA1 binding with phosphopeptides suggest that C-terminal domain of BRCA1 interacts with BAAT1 and ATRIP with preferences for specific side chains; in BAAT1, phospho-Ser269 and Phe272 are the main interacting residues. (PMID:24073851)
- Findings suggest novel roles of BRAT1 in cell proliferation and mitochondrial functions. (PMID:25070371)

Function. Component of a multiprotein complex required for the assembly of the RNA endonuclease module of the integrator complex. Associates with INTS9 and INTS11 in the cytoplasm and blocks the active site of INTS11 to inhibit the endonuclease activity of INTS11 before formation of the full integrator complex. Following dissociation of WDR73 of the complex, BRAT1 facilitates the nuclear import of the INTS9-INTS11 heterodimer. In the nucleus, INTS4 is integrated to the INTS9-INTS11 heterodimer and BRAT1 is released from the mature RNA endonuclease module by inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6). BRAT1 is also involved in DNA damage response; activates kinases ATM, SMC1A and PRKDC by modulating their phosphorylation status following ionizing radiation (IR) stress. Plays a role in regulating mitochondrial function and cell proliferation. Required for protein stability of MTOR and MTOR-related proteins, and cell cycle progress by growth factors.
Subunit / interactions. Part of the multiprotein complex composed of BRAT1, WDR73, as well as integrator complex subunits INTS9 and INTS11. Interacts with BRCA1 and ATM. Interacts with MTOR and RPTOR. Interacts with NDFIP1. Interacts with SMC1A and PRKDC.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated by NEDD4, NEDD4L and ITCH; mono- and polyubiquitinated forms are detected.
Disease relevance. Rigidity and multifocal seizure syndrome, lethal neonatal (RMFSL) [MIM:614498] A lethal, neonatal, neurologic disorder characterized by episodic jerking that is apparent in utero, lack of psychomotor development, axial and limb rigidity, frequent multifocal seizures, and dysautonomia. At birth, affected individuals have small heads, overlapping cranial sutures, small or absent fontanels, and depressed frontal bones. Infants show poorly responsive focal jerks of the tongue, face and arms in a nearly continuous sequence throughout life. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Neurodevelopmental disorder with cerebellar atrophy and with or without seizures (NEDCAS) [MIM:618056] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by psychomotor developmental delay manifesting in infancy, cerebellar atrophy, decreased myelination, and seizures in most patients. Additional features include intellectual disability, ataxia or dyspraxia, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, poor or absent speech, microcephaly, subtle dysmorphisms, and visual impairment in some patients. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The BRAT1-like motif mediates inhibition of the endonuclease activity of INTS11 by forming hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions with the active site of INTS11: Cys-820 coordinates one of the two active site zinc ions of INTS11.
Similarity. Belongs to the BRAT1 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 136 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.
