The 1H, 15N and 13C backbone resonance assignments of an intrinsically disordered region (467-696) of breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1).

The tumor suppressor protein breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1) plays a central role in maintaining genome stability through its involvement in DNA damage repair, transcriptional regulation, and cell-cycle control. BRCA1 functions as an obligate heterodimer with its binding partner, the BRCA1-associated RING domain protein 1 (BARD1), to coordinate accurate DNA repair. While the structured N- and C-terminal domains of BRCA1 have been well-characterized, the large central region encoded largely by exon 11 that comprises ~ 80% of the protein, is intrinsically disordered, and remains poorly structurally characterized. This intrinsically disordered region (IDR) harbors critical interaction interfaces for key proteins involved in genome maintenance, including RAD50, RAD51, MYC, and RB. Here, we report the backbone resonance assignments of a BRCA1 IDR construct spanning residues 467-696, providing a foundation for future studies aimed at understanding how the disordered central region of BRCA1 contributes to homologous recombination, interactions with BARD1, and overall BRCA1 tumor suppressor function.
