DNA repair protein crb2

UniProtKB accession:  P87074

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Essential for cell cycle arrest at the G1 and G2 stages following DNA damage by X-, and UV-irradiation, or inactivation of DNA ligase. Plays a role in the response to DNA damage (PubMed:9153313, PubMed:9407031). Interaction with rad4 via its phosphorylation sites in the N-terminus couples the DNA checkpoint apparatus to chromatin via interaction of its C-terminal BRCT domains with epigenetic modifications on histones H4 and H2A, respectively, in the G1/S phase of the cell cycle, and facilitates recruitment of the checkpoint kinase chk1 (PubMed:15550243, PubMed:16778077, PubMed:18826944, PubMed:20679485, PubMed:22792081).
