CCAR1 is required for Mediator complex recruitment to nuclear receptor (NR) target gene promoters; CCAR1 associates with components of both the Mediator and p160 coactivator complexes, is recruited to endogenous NR target genes in response to hormone, and its depletion blocks hormone-induced recruitment of Mediator subunits and RNA polymerase II to target promoters. |

CCAR1 localizes to cytosolic RNA stress granules in an arsenite-dependent manner together with AKAP350A and caprin-1; this co-localization requires intact microtubules (disrupted by nocodazole). Reduction of CCAR1 expression alters the size and number of G3BP-containing stress granules. |

CCAR1 (CARP-1) physically binds APC/C subunit APC-2 as well as APC/C co-activators Cdc20 and Cdh1, as identified by yeast two-hybrid screening. The CARP-1/APC-2 interaction has a Kd of ~480 nM measured by fluorescence polarization assay. Small molecule antagonists of this interaction (CFMs) induce G2/M arrest and apoptosis in a CARP-1-dependent manner. |

Par-4 and THAP1 form a protein complex via their carboxyl termini; THAP1 binds the CCAR1 promoter through its zinc-dependent DNA-binding domain; the Par-4/THAP1 complex activates CCAR1 gene expression and antagonizes Notch3-induced alternative splicing of CCAR1 pre-mRNA (which shifts it toward a shorter, survival-promoting isoform via splicing factors SRp40/SRp55). |

CCAR1 acts as a coactivator for the androgen receptor (AR) by stabilizing the interaction between AR and pioneer factor GATA2; CCAR1 directly interacts with both AR and GATA2, facilitating their occupancy at AR-binding enhancers, long-range enhancer–promoter looping, and recruitment of MED1 and RNA polymerase II. |

CCAR1 (CARP-1) directly binds H2AX; the interaction requires CCAR1 amino acids 636–650 and H2AX residues 1–35. Surface plasmon resonance measured a Kd of 127 nM for CARP-1(636–650)/H2AX(1–35) peptide binding. CCAR1–H2AX interaction is required for γH2AX accumulation and apoptosis signaling following Adriamycin or CFM-4.16 treatment; deletion of the H2AX-binding epitope abolishes apoptosis. |

CCAR1 is required for correct splicing of FANCA pre-mRNA: loss of CCAR1 causes inclusion of a poison exon in FANCA transcript, reducing FANCA protein expression without reducing FANCA mRNA levels. The EF-hand domain of CCAR1 interacts with the U2AF heterodimer of the spliceosome and is required for poison exon excision. Transcriptome-wide analysis shows CCAR1 regulates widespread alternative splicing across many genes. |
