| Function: | Ubiquitin-binding protein (PubMed:24627472). Specifically recognizes and binds 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin (PubMed:19328070, Ref.38). Plays a central role in the BRCA1-A complex by specifically binding '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. Also weakly binds monoubiquitin but with much less affinity than 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin. May interact with monoubiquitinated histones H2A and H2B; the relevance of such results is however unclear in vivo. Does not bind Lys-48'-linked ubiquitin. May indirectly act as a transcriptional repressor by inhibiting the interaction of NR6A1 with the corepressor NCOR1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12080054, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17525340, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17525341, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17525342, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17621610, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17643121, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19015238, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19202061, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19261748, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19328070, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24627472, ECO:0000269|Ref.38}. | |
| Subunit: | Component of the ARISC complex, at least composed of UIMC1/RAP80, ABRAXAS1, BRCC3/BRCC36, BABAM2 and BABAM1/NBA1 (PubMed:24075985). Component of the BRCA1-A complex, at least composed of the BRCA1, BARD1, UIMC1/RAP80, ABRAXAS1, BRCC3/BRCC36, BABAM2 and BABAM1/NBA1 (PubMed:17525341, PubMed:17525342, PubMed:19261746, PubMed:19261749). In the BRCA1-A complex, interacts directly with ABRAXAS1 (PubMed:17643121, PubMed:17643122, PubMed:19261749, PubMed:19261748, PubMed:18077395). Interacts with UBE2I (PubMed:17698038). Interacts with NR6A1 (PubMed:12080054). Interacts with ESR1 (PubMed:17311814). Interacts with TSP57 (By similarity). Interacts with TRAIP (PubMed:26781088). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5U5Q9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12080054, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17311814, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17525341, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17525342, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17643121, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17643122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17698038, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18077395, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19261746, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19261748, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19261749, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24075985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26781088}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12080054, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17525340, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17525341, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17525342, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17621610, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17643121}. Note=Localizes at sites of DNA damage at double-strand breaks (DSBs). | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed in testis, ovary, thymus and heart. Expressed in germ cells of the testis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12080054}. | |
| Domain: | The tandem UIM domains form a continuous 60 Angstrom-long alpha-helix and mediate binding to 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitins. UIM1 and UIM2 bind to the proximal and distal ubiquitin moieties and recognize an 'Ile-44'-centered hydrophobic patch. Since UIMs don't interact with the 'Lys-63' isopeptide bond the UIM-linker region between the 2 UIM domains determines the selectivity for 'Lys-63'-linkage, and its length is very important for specificity. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5U5Q9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19328070, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24627472, ECO:0000269|Ref.38}. | |
