DNA repair protein XRCC3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the XRCC3 gene.[1]

Function

This gene encodes a member of the RecA/Rad51-related protein family that participates in homologous recombination to maintain chromosome stability and repair DNA damage. This gene functionally complements Chinese hamster irs1SF, a repair-deficient mutant that exhibits hypersensitivity to a number of different DNA-damaging agents and is chromosomally unstable. A rare microsatellite polymorphism in this gene is associated with cancer in patients of varying radiosensitivity.[2]

The XRCC3 protein is one of five paralogs of RAD51, including RAD51B (RAD51L1), RAD51C (RAD51L2), RAD51D (RAD51L3), XRCC2 and XRCC3. They each share about 25% amino acid sequence identity with RAD51 and each other.[3]

The RAD51 paralogs are all required for efficient DNA double-strand break repair by homologous recombination and depletion of any paralog results in significant decreases in homologous recombination frequency.[4]

Two paralogs form a complex designated CX3 (RAD51C-XRCC3). Four paralogs form a second complex dsignated BCDX2 (RAD51B-RAD51C-RAD51D-XRCC2). These two complexes act at two different stages of homologous recombinational DNA repair.

The CX3 complex acts downstream of RAD51, after its recruitment to damage sites.[4] The CX3 complex associates with Holliday junction resolvase activity, probably in a role of stabilizing gene conversion tracts.[4]

The BCDX2 complex is responsible for RAD51 recruitment or stabilization at damage sites.[4] The BCDX2 complex appears to act by facilitating the assembly or stability of the RAD51 nucleoprotein filament.

Interactions

XRCC3 has been shown to interact with RAD51C.[5][6][7][8]

Epigenetic deficiency in cancer

There is an epigenetic cause of XRCC3 deficiency that appears to increase cancer risk. This is the repression of XRCC3 by over-expression of EZH2 protein.

Increased expression of EZH2 leads to epigenetic repression of RAD51 paralogs, including XRCC3, and thus reduces homologous recombinational repair.[9] This reduction was proposed to be a cause of breast cancer.[9] EZH2 is the catalytic subunit of Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 (PRC2) which catalyzes methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me) and mediates gene silencing of target genes via local chromatin reorganization.[10] EZH2 protein is up-regulated in numerous cancers.[10][11] EZH2 mRNA is up-regulated, on average, 7.5-fold in breast cancer, and between 40% to 75% of breast cancers have over-expressed EZH2 protein.[12]
