    basic FUNCTION
  • playing an essential role for a variety of DNA metabolic processes, including replication, recombination, and detection and repair of damage
  • influencing diverse endpoints in the cellular DNA damage response
  • plays a key role in DNA damage response
  • promotes Rad51-mediated strand exchange and may thus contribute directly to homologous recombination repair
  • may also be involved in preventing tumorigenesis and might affect the response of patients and tumours towards radiotherapy and DNA-damaging chemotherapies
  • participating in homologous recombination (HR)-dependent repair of DNA double strand breaks and ATM-mediated checkpoint pathways
  • SOSS complex (NABP1, NABP2, INTS3, INIP) is likely involved in the maintenance of genome stability
  • plays an important role in the DNA damage response and maintenance of genomic stability
  • essential for efficient DNA double-strand break signalling through ATM
  • functions upstream of MRN complex ((RAD50, MRE11, NBS1))to promote its recruitment at DSBs (double-strand break) and is required for efficient resection of DSBs
  • essential roles in controlling ATM activation and activity, and subsequent DSB resection and homologous recombination (HR)
  • essential factor for the initiation of DNA damage checkpoints and the maintenance of genomic stabilityc
  • has a unique function during embryogenesis limited to cell types that contribute to bone formation
  • critical for the initiation of ATM signaling and DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination
  • essential roles in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and genome stability
  • potential role for NABP2/NABP1 in the protection of newly replicated leading- and lagging-strand telomeres
  • importance of NABP2 in maintaining and repairing DNA replication forks and for overall genomic stability
  • participate in DNA damage response and maintenance of genome stability by regulating the initiation of ATM-dependent signaling
  • NABP1 and 2 are single-stranded (ss) DNA- and RNA-binding proteins, and function in DNA repair

    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
  • NABP2 and EEF1E1, might be involved in BRCA1-pathway
  • a component
  • forming a complex with INTS3 and C9orf80, complex required fir efficient HR-dependent repair of DSBs and ATM-dependent signaling pathways
  • components of the NABP2/NABP3-INTS3-C9orf80 heterotrimeric protein complex shown to participate in DNA damage response and maintenance of genome stability
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with INTS3 (OBFC2B·INTS3 complex regulates both DNA damage checkpoint activation and DNA damage repair)
  • is uniquely capable of promoting interaction of EXO1 with double-strand DNA ends and stimulates its activity independently of the MRN complex
  • may regulate DNA damage checkpoints by positively modulating TP53 and its downstream target CDKN1A
  • in response to the DNA damage response, along with INTS3 and NABP2, INTS6 relocates to the DNA damage sites
  • FBXL5 interacts with and targets NABP2 for ubiquitination and degradation
  • single-stranded DNA-binding protein complex, NABP1/NABP2-INTS3 can recruit the checkpoint complex to initiate ATR signaling
  • NABP2 oligomerization does not preclude its function in DSB repair, where it can interact with INTS3, further establishing the versatility that NABP2 displays in maintaining genome integrity
  • INTS3, but not C9ORF80, affects the nucleic acid-binding ability of NABP1 and NABP2
  • INTS3 might regulate NABP1/NABP2 biological function
