The SLX4/FANCP tumor suppressor has emerged as a key player in the maintenance of genome stability, making pivotal contributions to the repair of interstrand cross-links, homologous recombination, and in response to replication stress genome-wide as well as at specific loci such as common fragile sites and telomeres. SLX4 does so in part by acting as a scaffold that controls and coordinates the XPF–ERCC1, MUS81–EME1, and SLX1 structure-specific endonucleases in different DNA repair and recombination mechanisms. It also interacts with other important DNA repair and cell cycle control factors including MSH2, PLK1, TRF2, and TOPBP1 as well as with ubiquitin and SUMO. This review aims at providing an up-to-date and comprehensive view on the key functions that SLX4 fulfills to maintain genome stability as well as to highlight and discuss areas of uncertainty and emerging concepts. 相似文献

Fanconi Anemia (FA) is an inherited multi-gene cancer predisposition syndrome that is characterized on the cellular level by a hypersensitivity to DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs). To repair these lesions, the FA pathway proteins are thought to act in a linear hierarchy: Following ICL detection, an upstream FA core complex monoubiquitinates the central FA pathway members FANCD2 and FANCI, followed by their recruitment to chromatin. Chromatin-bound monoubiquitinated FANCD2 and FANCI subsequently coordinate DNA repair factors including the downstream FA pathway members FANCJ and FANCD1/BRCA2 to repair the DNA ICL. Importantly, we recently showed that FANCD2 has additional independent roles: it binds chromatin and acts in concert with the BLM helicase complex to promote the restart of aphidicolin (APH)-stalled replication forks, while suppressing the firing of new replication origins. Here, we show that FANCD2 fulfills these roles independently of the FA core complex-mediated monoubiquitination step. Following APH treatment, nonubiquitinated FANCD2 accumulates on chromatin, recruits the BLM complex, and promotes robust replication fork recovery regardless of the absence or presence of a functional FA core complex. In contrast, the downstream FA pathway members FANCJ and BRCA2 share FANCD2's role in replication fork restart and the suppression of new origin firing. Our results support a non-linear FA pathway model at stalled replication forks, where the nonubiquitinated FANCD2 isoform – in concert with FANCJ and BRCA2 – fulfills a specific function in promoting efficient replication fork recovery independently of the FA core complex. 相似文献

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a recessive chromosomal instability syndrome that is clinically characterized by multiple symptoms. Chromosome breakage hypersensitivity to alkylating agents is the gold standard test for FA diagnosis. In this study, we provide a detailed laboratory protocol for accurate assessment of FA diagnosis based on mitomycin C (MMC) test. Induced chromosomal breakage study was successful in 171 out of 205 aplastic anemia (AA) patients. According to the sensitivity of MMC at 50 ng/ml, 38 patients (22.22%) were diagnosed as affected and 132 patients (77.17%) as unaffected. Somatic mosaicism was suspected in an 11-year-old patient with a FA phenotype. Twenty-six siblings of FA patients were also evaluated and five of them (19.23%) were diagnosed as FA. From this study, a standard protocol for diagnosis of FA was developed. It is routinely used as a diagnostic test of FA in Tunisia. 相似文献

Fanconi anemia is a rare genetic disease characterized by bone marrow failure, multiple congenital malformations, and an increased susceptibility to malignancy. At least 15 genes have been identified that are involved in the pathogenesis of Fanconi anemia. However, it is still a challenge to assign the complementation group and to characterize the molecular defects in patients with Fanconi anemia. In the current study, whole exome sequencing was used to identify the affected gene(s) in a boy with Fanconi anemia. A recurring, non-synonymous mutation was found (c.3971C>T, p.P1324L) as well as a novel frameshift mutation (c.989_995del, p.H330LfsX2) in FANCA gene. Our results indicate that whole exome sequencing may be useful in clinical settings for rapid identification of disease-causing mutations in rare genetic disorders such as Fanconi anemia. 相似文献

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a fascinating, rare genetic disorder marked by congenital
defects, bone marrow failure, and cancer susceptibility. Research in recent
years has led to the elucidation of FA as a DNA repair disorder and involved
multiple pathways as well as having wide applicability to common cancers,
including breast, ovarian, and head and neck. This review will describe the
clinical aspects of FA as well as the current state of its molecular
pathophysiology. In particular, work from the Kupfer laboratory will be
described that demonstrates how the FA pathway interacts with multiple DNA
repair pathways, including the mismatch repair system and signal transduction
pathway of the DNA damage response. 相似文献

Fanconi anemia (FA), a genetic disorder predisposing to aplastic anemia and cancer, is characterized by hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents and oxidative stress. Five of the cloned FA proteins (FANCA, FANCC, FANCE, FANCF, FANCG) appear to be involved in a common functional pathway that is required for the monoubiquitination of a sixth gene product, FANCD2. Here, we report that FANCA associates with the IkappaB kinase (IKK) signalsome via interaction with IKK2. Components of the FANCA complex undergo rapid, stimulus-dependent changes in phosphorylation, which are blocked by kinase-inactive IKK2 (IKK2 K > M). When exposed to mitomycin C, cells expressing IKK2 K > M develop a cell cycle abnormality characteristic of FA. Thus, FANCA may function to recruit IKK2, thus providing the cell a means of rapidly responding to stress. 相似文献

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare recessive, human genetic syndrome characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, developmental abnormalities, predisposition to malignancy, chromosomal instability and DNA damage hypersensitivity. Two (FAA and FAC) of the five genes involved were cloned but their functions remain unknown. At present, the involvement of FA proteins in DNA repair, redox status of the cell and apoptosis are areas of intensive investigation. The aim of this review is to synthesize current results and ideas concerning the involvement of apoptosis in the FA phenotype and conversely, the role of FA proteins in the control of apoptosis. 相似文献

The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway, of which the FANCD2 protein is a key component, plays crucial roles in the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells and suppression of carcinogenesis. However, the function of FANCD2 remains unclear. Here, we report that FANCD2 is a novel and specific substrate of caspase 3. Cleavage of FANCD2 by caspase 3 did not require either the FA core complex or mono-ubiquitylation of FANCD2, and was stimulated by p53. In addition, we identified the cleavage sites and generated cell lines that stably express a caspase-resistant FANCD2 mutant. Our data suggest that FANCD2 is regulated by caspase-mediated degradation during apoptosis induced by DNA damage. 相似文献
