EMSY
geneOn this page
Summary
EMSY (EMSY transcriptional repressor, BRCA2 interacting, HGNC:18071) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11q13.5, encoding BRCA2-interacting transcriptional repressor EMSY (Q7Z589). Regulator which is able to repress transcription, possibly via its interaction with a multiprotein chromatin remodeling complex that modifies the chromatin.
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA repair; chromatin organization; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleoplasm.

- co-amplification of CCND1 and EMSY identified a poor prognostic subset of ER-positive tamoxifen-treated patients (PMID:19636701)
- Sporadic ovarian cancer shows overexpression of EMSY at a prevalence similar to that found in breast cancer and the overexpression is correlated with the protein level. (PMID:20349280)
- EMSY amplification does occur independently of CCND1 amplification in a minority of familial breast cancers, supporting its role as a possible breast cancer oncogene (PMID:21327470)
- EMSY amplification may mimic BRCA2 deficiency, at least by overriding RPA and PALB2, crippling the BRCA2/RAD51 complex at DNA-damage and replication/transcription sites (PMID:21409565)
- There are 2 independent signals, one in C11orf30 and the other in LRRC32, that are strongly associated with serum IgE levels. C11orf30-LRRC32 region may represent a common locus for atopic diseases via pathways involved in regulation of serum IgE levels (PMID:22070912)
- Akt1 regulates the interferon response through phosphorylation of the transcriptional repressor EMSY (PMID:22315412)
- EMSY is recruited to the miR-31 promoter by the DNA binding factor ETS-1, and it represses miR-31 transcription by delivering the H3K4me3 demethylase JARID1b/PLU-1/KDM5B (PMID:24582497)
- Univariate analysis revealed a significant positive association between EMSY expression and lymph node metastasis, larger tumor size, as well as a non-significant relation with increased risk of recurrence. (PMID:24641409)
- Eosinophilic esophagitis was associate with increased expression of C11orf30. (PMID:25407941)
- Our study demonstrated that EMSY played an oncogenic role in the progression of ovarian cancer cells and EMSY might be a promising target for the treatment (PMID:25510665)
- The association of higher levels of expression of C11orf30 may be involved in transcription repression of interferon-stimulated genes, and its association with sensitization to multiple allergens suggest that this locus is highly relevant for atopy. (PMID:25546184)
- The rs2155219 single nucleotide polymorphism was significantly associated with atopic dermatitis. (PMID:26464032)
- identify a novel substoichiometric interactor of the complex, transcription factor ZNF131, which recruits EMSY to a large number of active, H3K4me3 marked promoters. (PMID:26841866)
- Our results show a high frequency of EMSY amplification in MBC, thus pointing to a role of EMSY in the pathogenesis of this disease. EMSY amplification may be a new feature that might uncover underlying molecular pathways of MBCs and may allow for the identification of MBC subgroups with potential clinical implication for targeted therapeutic approaches. (PMID:27628328)
- EMSY overexpression impairs the repair of damaged DNA, suggesting that EMSY belongs to the family of BRCAness proteins (PMID:28099152)
- Altogether, 12 germline EMSY variants were observed in hereditary breast cancer and ovarian cancer families. Two alterations were located in the coding region, five alterations were intronic, and five alterations were located in the 3’untranslated region (UTR). Variant frequencies did not differ between cases and controls. These results suggest that the identified EMSY variants are likely neutral at the population level. (PMID:28738860)
- We conclude that EMSY and CCND1 work in collaboration and contribute to the pathogenesis of lung cancer. (PMID:28824300)
- This study identifies multiple novel loci as risk factors for PA and food allergy and establishes C11orf30 as a risk locus for both PA and food allergy. Multiple genes (C11orf30/EMSY, SKAP1, and CTNNA3) identified by this study are involved in epigenetic regulation of gene expression. (PMID:29030101)

BRCA2-interacting transcriptional repressor EMSY — Q7Z589 (reviewed: Q7Z589)

Function. Regulator which is able to repress transcription, possibly via its interaction with a multiprotein chromatin remodeling complex that modifies the chromatin. Its interaction with BRCA2 suggests that it may play a central role in the DNA repair function of BRCA2. Mediates ligand-dependent transcriptional activation by nuclear hormone receptors.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts with the transactivation domain of BRCA2. Interacts with CBX1 (via chromoshadow domain). Interacts with ZMYND11. Does not interact with CBX3 or CBX5. Component of a nuclear receptor-mediated transcription complex composed of at least ZNF335, CCAR2 and EMSY; the complex stimulates the transcription of nuclear receptor target genes such as SOX9 and HOXA1. Within the complex interacts with CCAR2 and ZNF335. Components of this complex may associate with components of a histone methylation complex to form a complex at least composed of ZNF335, HCFC1, CCAR2, EMSY, MKI67, RBBP5, ASH2L and WDR5. Within this complex, interacts with ASH2L and RBBP5.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Post-translational modifications. O-glycosylated during cytokinesis at sites identical or close to phosphorylation sites, this interferes with the phosphorylation status.
Miscellaneous. Defects in EMSY may be a cause of sporadic breast cancer and higher-grade ovarian cancers. Overexpressed through amplification almost exclusively in sporadic breast cancer (13%) and higher-grade ovarian cancer (17%). Amplification is associated with worse survival, particularly in node-negative breast cancer, suggesting that it may be of prognostic value. Was named EMSY by PubMed:14651845 because the protein sequence contains the word ‘SISTER’, after the first author’s sister, who is a breast cancer nurse.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 167 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.
