Protein function (UniProt)

Integrator complex assembly factor BRAT1

Component of a multiprotein complex required for the assembly of the RNA endonuclease module of the integrator complex (PubMed:39032489, PubMed:39032490). Associates with INTS9 and INTS11 in the cytoplasm and blocks the active site of INTS11 to inhibit the endonuclease activity of INTS11 before formation of the full integrator complex (PubMed:39032489, PubMed:39032490). Following dissociation of WDR73 of the complex, BRAT1 facilitates the nuclear import of the INTS9-INTS11 heterodimer (PubMed:39032489). In the nucleus, INTS4 is integrated to the INTS9-INTS11 heterodimer and BRAT1 is released from the mature RNA endonuclease module by inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) (PubMed:39032489). BRAT1 is also involved in DNA damage response; activates kinases ATM, SMC1A and PRKDC by modulating their phosphorylation status following ionizing radiation (IR) stress (PubMed:16452482, PubMed:22977523). Plays a role in regulating mitochondrial function and cell proliferation (PubMed:25070371). Required for protein stability of MTOR and MTOR-related proteins, and cell cycle progress by growth factors (PubMed:25657994)
