Abstract excerpt
MERIT40 is a recently identified BRCA1 and RAP80 interacting protein that is essential for protein-protein interactions of a BRCA1 complex also containing Abraxas, BRCC36 and BRCC45. It is a mediator of checkpoint functions and DNA damage signaling through a (de)ubiquitination cascade. Based on its interaction with BRCA1 and its role in genome integrity maintenance, MERIT40 is a novel candidate gene for being...
