BRCA1 and BARD1 form a stable heterodimer through interaction of their RING domain-containing N-termini (Wu et al. 1996, Brzovic et al. 2001). Both BRCA1 and BARD1 have a RING domain in their N-terminal regions and tandem BRCT motifs at their C termini. The central region of BARD1 contains ankyrin repeats (Wu et al. 1996). Formation of BRCA1:BARD1 heterodimers is necessary for the repair of double strand DNA breaks by homologous recombination (Westermark et al. 2003, Laufer et al. 2007) and for the function of BRCA1 in tumor suppression (Shakya et al. 2008) and normal development (McCarthy et al. 2003). Tumorigenic BRCA1 and BARD1 mutations that abolish formation of BRCA1:BARD1 heterodimers have been reported (Wu et al. 1996, Brzovic et al. 2001, Morris et al. 2002, Caleca et al. 2014).
