RNF115/BCA2 E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Promotes Breast Cancer Cell Proliferation through Targeting p21Waf1/Cip1 for Ubiquitin-Mediated Degradation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The E3 ubiquitin ligase RING finger protein 115 (RNF115), also known as breast cancer-associated gene 2 (BCA2), has previously been reported to be overexpressed in estrogen receptor α (ERα)-positive breast tumors and to promote breast cell proliferation; however, its mechanism is unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that silencing of BCA2 by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in two ERα-positive breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and T47D, decreases cell proliferation and increases the protein levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21Waf/Cip1. The protein stability of p21 was negatively regulated by BCA2. BCA2 directly interacts with p21 and promotes p21 ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Knockdown of p21 partially rescues the cell growth arrest induced by the BCA2 siRNA. These results suggest that BCA2 promotes ERα-positive breast cancer cell proliferation at least partially through downregulating the expression of p21.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
