DESCRIPTION

Also known as BLM_HUMAN, BLM, RECQ2, RECQL3. ATP-dependent DNA helicase that unwinds single- and double-stranded DNA in a 3'-5' direction (PubMed:9388193, PubMed:24816114, PubMed:25901030). Participates in DNA replication and repair (PubMed:12019152, PubMed:21325134, PubMed:23509288). Involved in 5'-end resection of DNA during double-strand break (DSB) repair: unwinds DNA and recruits DNA2 which mediates the cleavage of 5'-ssDNA (PubMed:21325134). Negatively regulates sister chromatid exchange (SCE) (PubMed:25901030). Stimulates DNA 4-way junction branch migration and DNA Holliday junction dissolution (PubMed:25901030). Binds single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), forked duplex DNA and DNA Holliday junction (PubMed:20639533, PubMed:24257077, PubMed:25901030). Recruited by the KHDC3L-OOEP scaffold to DNA replication forks where it is retained by TRIM25 ubiquitination, it thereby promotes the restart of stalled replication forks (By similarity). Monomer (PubMed:28228481). Homodimer (via N-terminus) (PubMed:28228481). Homotetramer (via N-terminus); dimer of dimers (PubMed:28228481). Homohexamer (via N-terminus) (PubMed:28228481). Self-association negatively regulates DNA unwinding amplitude and rate. Oligomeric complexes dissociate into monomer in presence of ATP (PubMed:28228481). Part of the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC), which contains BRCA1, MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, ATM, BLM, PMS2 and the RAD50-MRE11-NBS1 protein complex. This association could be a dynamic process changing throughout the cell cycle and within subnuclear domains. Interacts with RMI complex. Interacts directly with RMI1 (via N-terminal region) component of RMI complex. Found in a complex, at least composed of BLM, RAD51 and SPIDR; the complex formation is mediated by SPIDR. Interacts with the KHDC3L/FILIA-OOEP/FLOPED scaffold complex and TRIM25 at DNA replication forks (By similarity). Interacts with ubiquitinated FANCD2 (PubMed:15257300). Interacts with SUPV3L1 (PubMed:17961633). Interacts with TOP3A (via N-terminal region). Interacts with SPIDR (via C-terminal region); the interaction is direct and required to target BLM to sites of DNA damage.
