Summary
BRWD1 (bromodomain and WD repeat domain containing 1, HGNC:12760) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 21q22.2, encoding Bromodomain and WD repeat-containing protein 1 (Q9NSI6). May be a transcriptional activator.
This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD) residues which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. This protein contains 2 bromodomains and multiple WD repeats. This gene is located within the Down syndrome region-2 on chromosome 21. Alternative splicing of this gene generates multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. In mouse, this gene encodes a nuclear protein that has a polyglutamine-containing region that functions as a transcriptional activation domain which may regulate chromatin remodelling and associates with a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 4)
- isolation and characterization of the gene located in the Down Syndrome critical region-2 of chromosome 21 (PMID:12359327)
- RNA-seq evidence of biallelic expression of BRWD1 and 10 neighboring genes in at least one primary human tissue tested indicates that the expression of BRWD1 is uncoupled from the control of the maternally inherited 5mCpG imprints at the WRB differentially methylated region (DMR) in disomic controls or trisomy (Down syndrome) individuals. (PMID:27100087)
- Study data indicate that, in both mice and humans, BRWD1 is a master orchestrator of enhancer accessibility that cooperates with transcription factor networks to drive late B-cell development. (PMID:30250168)
- Bi-allelic BRWD1 variants cause male infertility with asthenoteratozoospermia and likely primary ciliary dyskinesia. (PMID:33389130)

Function. May be a transcriptional activator. May be involved in chromatin remodeling. Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required in the control of cell shape.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with SMARCA4.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cell projection. Cilium membrane. Cytoskeleton. Flagellum axoneme.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitously expressed. Expressed in respiratory epithelial cells and testis spermatozoa.
Disease relevance. Ciliary dyskinesia, primary, 51 (CILD51) [MIM:620438] A form of primary ciliary dyskinesia, a disorder characterized by abnormalities of motile cilia. Respiratory infections leading to chronic inflammation and bronchiectasis are recurrent, due to defects in the respiratory cilia. CILD51 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by male infertility due to multiple morphologic abnormalities of the sperm flagella, resulting in severely reduced progressive motility. Affected individuals have recurrent upper and lower respiratory infections, and some exhibit dextrocardia and/or situs inversus. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 30 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.
