function:May modulate the functions ascribed to BRCA1 in transcriptional regulation, DNA repair, and/or cell cycle checkpoint control.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. Hyperphosphorylation upon ionizing radiation results in dissociation from BRCA1.,PTM:Ubiquitinated; mediated by SIAH1 and leading to its subsequent proteasomal degradation.,subcellular location:Predominantly nuclear.,subunit:Interacts with CTBP, with the C-terminal (BRCT) domains of BRCA1, and with the retinoblastoma protein.,
Nucleus . Chromosome . Associates with sites of DNA damage in S/G2 phase (PubMed:10764811, PubMed:25349192). Ubiquitinated RBBP8 binds to chromatin following DNA damage (PubMed:16818604). .
Expressed in ER-positive breast cancer lines, but tends to be down-regulated ER-negative cells (at protein level).
