BCCIPα was identified as a novel nuclear protein that physically interacts with the internal conserved region of BRCA2 (encoded by exons 14-24). BCCIP is a nuclear protein with three distinct domains (NAD, ICD, CVD), and overexpression of BCCIPα inhibits breast and brain cancer cell growth. |

TOK-1 (BCCIPα) was identified as a p21(Cip1) C-terminal-binding protein. TOK-1α, but not TOK-1β, directly binds the C-terminal proximal region of p21, forms a ternary complex with CDK2 via p21, and cooperatively enhances p21-dependent inhibitory activity toward CDK2 histone H1 kinase activity. |

Both BCCIPα and BCCIPβ isoforms interact with BRCA2 via a shared region. Chromatin-bound BRCA2 colocalizes with BCCIP nuclear foci. RNAi-mediated knockdown of BCCIPα (by 90%) or BCCIPβ (by 50%) markedly reduces RAD51 and BRCA2 nuclear foci and reduces homologous recombinational repair (HRR) of DSBs by 20- to 100-fold. |

BCCIP regulates p21 expression through a p53-dependent mechanism. RNAi-mediated partial knockdown of BCCIP reduces p21 levels and impairs G1/S checkpoint activation in response to ionizing radiation; BCCIP was shown to regulate p53 transcriptional activity. |

BCCIP is required for p53 transactivation activity. BCCIP knockdown by RNAi in p53 wild-type cells diminishes p53 transactivation without reducing p53 protein levels, inhibits p53 binding to the promoters of p21 and HDM2, and reduces tetrameric p53 formation. |

RAD51 colocalizes with BCCIP early after ionizing radiation, and with RAD52 later. FRAP analysis shows BCCIP mobility does not change after hydroxyurea or ionizing radiation, whereas RAD52 mobility is reduced more by hydroxyurea. These data indicate temporally distinct RAD51-BCCIP and RAD51-RAD52 responses. |

BCCIP is required for nuclear localization of p21. BCCIP downregulation reduces nuclear p21 and increases cytoplasmic p21. BCCIP-p21 interaction is enhanced in response to DNA damage (measured by FRET). This redistribution is not due to Thr-145 phosphorylation of p21. |

BCCIP deficiency in mouse embryonic fibroblasts causes a ~20-fold increase in sister chromatid union (SCU), 3.5-fold increase in chromatid breaks, reduced repair of irradiation-induced DNA damage, reduced RAD51 protein and nuclear foci, and impaired cell proliferation. p53 deletion cannot rescue embryonic lethality from BCCIP deficiency. |

Conditional BCCIP knockdown combined with p53 deletion causes rapid medulloblastoma development with Sonic Hedgehog pathway alterations. Progressed tumors spontaneously lose the BCCIP knockdown cassette and restore BCCIP expression, demonstrating that transient BCCIP downregulation is sufficient to initiate tumorigenesis but BCCIP is required for tumor progression. |

BCCIPβ, but not BCCIPα, forms a ternary complex with ribosomal protein RPL23/uL14 and pre-60S trans-acting factor eIF6 in a manner dependent on the intact C-terminal domain of BCCIPβ. BCCIPβ depletion reduces the free RPL23 pool and decreases nucleolar eIF6 levels. BCCIPβ overexpression leads to nucleoplasmic accumulation of extra-ribosomal RPL23, indicating BCCIPβ functions as a nuclear chaperone for RPL23. |

The INO80/YY1 chromatin remodeling complex transcriptionally regulates BCCIP expression. YY1 and INO80 are enriched at +0.17 kb downstream of the BCCIP transcriptional start site. Both INO80 and YY1 are required for recruiting the complex to the BCCIP promoter region; knockdown of either abolishes BCCIP mRNA and protein expression. |

BCCIP directly interacts with YY1 via its ICD domain. BCCIP stabilizes YY1 by reducing YY1 ubiquitination, and YY1 in turn recruits itself to the BCCIP promoter to activate BCCIP transcription (BCCIP-YY1 autoregulatory feedback loop). BCCIP itself binds the BCCIP promoter in a YY1-dependent fashion. |

YY1, BCCIP, and p53 form cross-interacting complexes; YY1 inhibits while BCCIP enhances p53RE-mediated luciferase activity. BCCIP knockdown inhibits p53 and YY1 recruitment to the p53RE proximal region of p21 promoter. |

Abrogation of BCCIP nucleolar localization or impaired BCCIP-eIF6 interaction compromises eIF6 recruitment to the nucleolus and 60S biogenesis. |

Crystal structures of N-terminal truncated human BCCIPβ (residues 61-314) show structural similarity to GCN5-related acetyltransferases (GNATs) but with altered acetyl-CoA and substrate-binding grooves. BCCIPβ contains a large 19-residue flap that adopts open or closed conformations and a positively charged, reduced substrate binding groove, suggesting binding sites for partner proteins. |

BCCIPα, but not BCCIPβ, binds FAM46 (TENT5) family noncanonical poly(A) polymerases and inhibits their PAP activity. Crystal structures of FAM46A/BCCIPα and FAM46C/BCCIPα complexes show BCCIPα adopts a unique fold (completely different from BCCIPβ) due to its distinct C-terminal segment; a helix-loop-helix segment in BCCIPα inserts into the active site cleft of FAM46 to inhibit PAP activity. The distinct C-terminal segment supports fold adoption but does not directly contact FAM46. |
