| Function | Probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that acts as a regulator of double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair following DNA damage. Functions in a non-canonical fashion to harness RNF168-mediated protein recruitment to DSB-containing chromatin, thereby contributing to regulation of DSB repair pathway utilization. Once recruited to DSB repair sites by recognizing and binding ubiquitin catalyzed by RNF168, competes with TP53BP1 and BRCA1 for association with RNF168-modified chromatin, thereby favouring homologous recombination repair (HRR) and single-strand annealing (SSA) instead of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) mediated by TP53BP1. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity is not required for regulation of DSBs repair. |
