BRCA1 associated protein-1 (ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase) is a deubiquitinating enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BAP1 gene.[3][4] BAP1 encodes an 80.4 kDa nuclear-localizing protein with a ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase (UCH) domain that gives BAP1 its deubiquitinase activity.[3] Recent studies have shown that BAP1 and its fruit fly homolog, Calypso, are members of the polycomb-group proteins (PcG) of highly conserved transcriptional repressors required for long-term silencing of genes that regulate cell fate determination, stem cell pluripotency, and other developmental processes.[5]

Nomenclature

BAP1 is also known as:

Gene

In humans, BAP1 is encoded by the BAP1 gene located on the short arm of chromosome 3 (3p21.31-p21.2).

Structure

Human BAP1 is 729 amino acids long and has three domains:

  1. a ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase (UCH) N-terminus catalytic domain, which removes ubiquitin from ubiquitylated substrates: residues 1-240, with an active site comprising the Cysteine91, Alanine95, and Glycine178 residues.
  2. a unique linker region, which includes a Host cell factor C1 binding domain at residues 356-385.
  3. a C-terminal domain: residues 598-729, which includes a UCH37-like domain (ULD) at residues 675-693 and two Nuclear localization sequences at residues 656-661 and 717-722.

Function

In both Drosophila and humans, BAP1 functions as the catalytic subunit of the Polycomb repressive deubiquitinase (PR-DUB) complex, which controls homeobox genes by regulating the amount of ubiquitinated Histone H2A in Nucleosomes bound to their promoters. In flies and humans, the PR-DUB complex is formed through the interaction of BAP1 and ASXL1 (Asx in fruit flies)[6][7] BAP1 has also been shown to associate with other factors involved in chromatin modulation and transcriptional regulation, such as Host cell factor C1,[8][9][10] which acts as an adaptor to couple E2F transcription factors to chromatin-modifying complexes during cell cycle progression.

Role in disease

In cancer, BAP1 can function both as a Tumor suppressor and as a Metastasis suppressor.

Somatic mutations in cancer

BAP1 tumor predisposition syndrome

Two studies used Genome sequencing independently to identify Germline mutations in BAP1 in families with genetic predispositions to mesothelioma[15] and melanocytic skin tumors[16] The atypical melanocytic lesions resemble Spitz nevi and have been characterized as "atypical Spitz tumors" (ASTs), although they have a unique histology and exhibit both BRAF and BAP1 mutations.[17] Further studies have identified germline BAP1 mutations associated with other cancers.[18] These studies suggest that germline mutation of BAP1 results in a Tumor Predisposition Syndrome linking BAP1 to many more cancers.

Immunochemistry

Immunohistochemistry for BAP1 is a prognostic biomarker to predict poor oncologic outcomes and adverse clinicopathological features in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). BAP1 assessment using immunohistochemistry on needle biopsy may benefit preoperative risk stratification and guide treatment planning.[19]

Interactions

BAP1 has been shown to interact with

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of BAP1 function. A conditional knockout mouse line called Bap1tm1a(EUCOMM)Hmgu was generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[20] Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen[21] to determine the effects of deletion.[22][23][24][25] Additional screens performed: - In-depth immunological phenotyping[26] - in-depth bone and cartilage phenotyping[27]
