DNA/RNA
Description
spans over 51 kb; 16 exons
Transcription
4.4 and 2.6 kb (alternative polyadenylation); open reading frame of 2265 nucleotides
Proteins
Description
the 754 amino acid protein is called nibrin; predicted MW 85 kDa, 95 kDa by SDS-PAGE; contains in N-term a forkhead associated domain (amino acids 24-100) and a breast cancer domain (BRCT; amino acids 105-190), both domains being found in the various DNA damage responsive cell cycle checkpoint proteins; 4 possible nuclear localization domains in the C-term half. Identified as the p95 subunit of the Rad50/Mre11/p95 double-strand DNA break repair complex. Nibrin is an essential component of this complex, and is responsible for its nuclear localization.
Expression
wide; shorter transcript expressed at higher level in the testis (plays a role in DNA damage repair, though not in meiotic recombination, as ATM does)
Function
member of the MRE/RAD50/nibrin double-strand break repair complex of 1600 kDa; necessary for localization of Rad50/Mre11 at DSB sites, and for the nucleolytic activities of this complex. Mice homozygous for null alleles of Nbs1 are inviable, while those with mutations corresponding to the common human mutation recapitulate the NBS phenotype. A 70 kDa protein containing the C-terminal portion of NBS1 produced from an alternative initiation site is associates with Rad50 and Mre11 and is apparently partially functional.
Homology
no known homology
Mutations
Germinal
missense mutations in the BRCT domain or truncating mutations downstream the BRCT are found in Nijmegen breakage syndrome (see below); most mutations are a 5 base deletion at codon 218, called 657del5, and are due to a founder effect
Somatic
Missense mutations in NBS1 have been associated with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
