General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Gene namei
Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.
All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions.
Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached.
Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s).
The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.
Gene information from Ensembl and Entrez, as well as links to available gene identifiers are displayed here. Information was retrieved from Ensembl if not indicated otherwise.

Scaffold protein that acts as a key protein-protein adapter in DNA replication and DNA repair 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12. Composed of multiple BRCT domains, which specifically recognize and bind phosphorylated proteins, bringing proteins together into functional combinations 13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20. Required for DNA replication initiation but not for the formation of pre-replicative complexes or the elongation stages (By similarity). Necessary for the loading of replication factors onto chromatin, including GMNC, CDC45, DNA polymerases and components of the GINS complex (By similarity). Plays a central role in DNA repair by bridging proteins and promoting recruitment of proteins to DNA damage sites 21,22,23. Involved in double-strand break (DSB) repair via homologous recombination in S-phase by promoting the exchange between the DNA replication factor A (RPA) complex and RAD51 24,25. Mechanistically, TOPBP1 is recruited to DNA damage sites in S-phase via interaction with phosphorylated HTATSF1, and promotes the loading of RAD51, thereby facilitating RAD51 nucleofilaments formation and RPA displacement, followed by homologous recombination 26. Involved in microhomology-mediated end-joining (MMEJ) DNA repair by promoting recruitment of polymerase theta (POLQ) to DNA damage sites during mitosis 27. MMEJ is an alternative non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) machinery that takes place during mitosis to repair DSBs in DNA that originate in S-phase 28. Recognizes and binds POLQ phosphorylated by PLK1, enabling its recruitment to DSBs for subsequent repair 29. Involved in G1 DNA damage checkpoint by acting as a molecular adapter that couples TP53BP1 and the 9-1-1 complex 30. In response to DNA damage, triggers the recruitment of checkpoint signaling proteins on chromatin, which activate the CHEK1 signaling pathway and block S-phase progression 31,32. Acts as an activator of the kinase activity of ATR 33,34. Also required for chromosomal stability when DSBs occur during mitosis by forming filamentous assemblies that bridge MDC1 and tether broken chromosomes during mitosis 35. Together with CIP2A, plays an essential role in the response to genome instability generated by the presence of acentric chromosome fragments derived from shattered chromosomes within micronuclei 36,37,38,39. Micronuclei, which are frequently found in cancer cells, consist of chromatin surrounded by their own nuclear membrane: following breakdown of the micronuclear envelope, a process associated with chromothripsis, the CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex tethers chromosome fragments during mitosis to ensure clustered segregation of the fragments to a single daughter cell nucleus, facilitating re-ligation with limited chromosome scattering and loss 40,41. Recruits the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex to E2F1-responsive promoters, thereby down-regulating E2F1 activity and inhibiting E2F1-dependent apoptosis during G1/S transition and after DNA damage 42,43....show less

Useful information about the gene from Entrez
This gene encodes a binding protein which interacts with the C-terminal region of topoisomerase II beta. This interaction suggests a supportive role for this protein in the catalytic reactions of topoisomerase II beta through transient breakages of DNA strands. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]...show less
